Musk and the former CEO of X, Linda Yaccarino, have been asked to attend “voluntary hearings” on April 20, according to the statement. Yaccarino was CEO from May 2023 until July 2025. Employees of X have also been summoned that same week to be heard as witnesses, the statement said. Story continues below advertisement X’s lawyer in France, Kami Haeri, told The Associated Press: “We are not making any comment at this stage.” In a message posted to X, the Paris prosecutors’ office announced it was leaving the platform and urged followers to join it on other social media platforms. Its account is now closed. “At this stage, the conduct of the investigation is based on a constructive approach, with the aim of ultimately ensuring that the X platform complies with French law, as it operates on the national territory,” the prosecutors’ statement said. X has also been under scrutiny from the European Union. The 27-nation bloc opened an investigation last month after Grok allegedly published “manipulated sexually explicit images, including content that may amount to child sexual abuse material.” Brussels has already fined X 120 million euros for shortcomings under the union’s sweeping digital regulations, including blue checkmarks that broke rules on “deceptive design practices” and risked exposing users to scams and manipulation. — With files from The Associated Press
