French prosecutors summon Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino in X probe

Paris prosecutors summoned X owner Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino to appear for questioning in a probe into child sexual‑abuse images and AI deepfakes circulating on the platform. The inquiry is led by France's cybercrime unit, which is examining how the material was hosted and whether X complied with French criminal law. Prosecutors issued formal summonses to secure testimony from both executives rather than filing charges immediately. French authorities could use the investigation's findings to bring criminal or regulatory actions against X, creating immediate legal risk for the company in Europe.
