Billionaire Elon Musk is expected to appear before French courts on Monday for a voluntary hearing in Paris, as part of an investigation targeting his social network X, according to several concordant sources.
This summons is part of an investigation opened in 2025, focusing in particular on the platform's operations, its algorithms, and the management of illegal content. The investigations have broadened over the months, with suspicions concerning the distribution of sensitive content, including deepfakes and child pornography.
A sensitive issue at the heart of international tensions
French authorities are seeking to question the network's director, along with other executives, in order to clarify potential offenses related to content moderation and the platform's technical operation. The hearing is scheduled to be conducted as a voluntary interview, meaning he will not be taken into custody.
The case comes amid heightened tensions between Elon Musk and French authorities. The CEO of X has already publicly criticized prosecutors, while the investigation has led to searches and requests for international cooperation, revealing a broader power struggle between European regulators and major digital platforms.
