Elon Musk criticizes French judicial authorities investigating potential abuses on his social media platform, X. France opened an inquiry in January 2025 after allegations that X was used to interfere in French politics. According to reports, the investigation later expands to include additional claims related to content and moderation, including allegations of Holocaust denial, the distribution of sexual deepfakes, and, more recently, possible complicity in the distribution of images of child sexual abuse. In response to developments in the case, Musk posts comments attacking the prosecutors and the inquiry. One report says he addresses the latest phase of the investigation with remarks written in French. Multiple outlets describe the exchanges as a public “tirade” directed at the French prosecutors handling the matter. The reports do not indicate a resolution or findings from the French investigation at this time.
