Offices belonging to Elon Musk's social media platform X in France are being raided, the Paris prosecutor's office says.

The prosecutor's office said both Musk and former X chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino had also been summoned to appear at hearings in April as part of its probe.

"...The prosecutor's office also said it was leaving X and would communicate on LinkedIn and Instagram from now on. ..."

The X raid is over claims that X “manipulated its algorithm for 'foreign interference' purposes". The child sexual abuse material and non-consensual undressing investigations are separate and very much still ongoing.

Correction, the BBC article has been updated to say Grok image generation investigation was wrapped into this investigation - and the raid was also about CSAM and non-con imagery, too.
