French cybercrime authorities have upgraded their investigation of Elon Musk and his social network X to a criminal probe, focusing on alleged algorithmic manipulation to influence French politics and the spread of AI-generated deepfake content. Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino were summoned but declined to appear. The probe also targets Musk's AI chatbot Grok, accused of enabling the creation and dissemination of harmful deepfake images, including Holocaust denial and nonconsensual explicit content. The U.S. Justice Department criticized the French investigation as interference with an American business. This ongoing probe highlights growing regulatory scrutiny of AI and social media platforms.
