Elon Musk's X's offices in Paris

have been raided by the city's prosecutor's office

as part of an ongoing investigation

into suspected algorithmic bias

and the manipulation of automated data systems.

The prosecutor's office posted on X to say that

a search was being carried out by its cyber crime unit

with the help of Europol and the French police

and that Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino

have been summoned for hearings in April.

They added that this would be their last post on X.

Their investigation was initially launched in January 2025

and later widened to include Grok.

At time of recording,

neither Musk or X had responded to the raid,

but in a statement issued in July,

X had described the investigation as politically motivated.
