Paris prosecutors raid France offices of Elon Musk's X

 

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

Its cyber-crime unit is conducting the searches, it said in a statement on X. Europol is also assisting.

It added it was related to an investigation opened in January 2025.

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.

X has yet to respond. BBC news has approached it for comment.

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