Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Monday failed to attend a hearing as part of an investigation into his X platform in France, the Paris public prosecutor's office confirmed, according to French media

Updated at 9.10 am PT… Elon Musk skipped a hearing with prosecutors in Paris on Monday which was due to take place as part of a probe into his X social media platform and alleged irregularities around its algorithms and role in disseminating Holocaust denial content and sexually explicit deepfakes.

France has summoned Elon Musk over an expanding probe into X, focusing on alleged algorithmic interference, deepfakes and harmful AI content linked to Grok chatbot.

The Justice Department (DOJ) has informed French authorities that it will not contribute to an investigation into billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform X, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

The Trump Justice Department is not playing along with France, as US officials refused to help French investigators go after Elon Musk’s platform X after a raid hit the company’s Paris office earlier this year.

Just days before Elon Musk is due to appear before the cybercrime unit of the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reveals that it has lodged a complaint against his social media platform X with the same unit.

Musk faces questions as part of a year-long probe in France into suspected abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data extraction by X or its executives.
