Paris prosecutors have raided the offices belonging to tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's X in France, media reports said.
Its cyber-crime unit is conducting the searches, it said in a statement on X as reported by BBC.
According to reports, the raid was performed as part of an investigation that opened in 2025 after complaints about X's algorithm and the content it recommended.
The prosecutor's office said both Musk and former X chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino had been summoned to appear at hearings in April as part of its probe, reported BBC.
X has not commented on the development so far.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said the investigation was broadened to include “Grok’s sexualized deepfakes", reported CNN.
