Billionaire Elon Musk has been summoned for a voluntary interview in Paris on Monday as part of a French probe into his social media platform X.

Axar.az informs, citing France 24, French authorities issued a summons for Musk in February as part of an investigation, launched in January 2025, into allegations that X's algorithm was used to interfere in French politics.

The probe was later expanded to include an investigation into X's AI chatbot Grok's dissemination of Holocaust denials and sexual deepfakes.

In February, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said X employees had also been summoned to appear between April 20 and 24 "to be heard as witnesses".

But whether or not those invited for voluntary questioning appear would not be "an obstacle to the continuation of the investigation", the Paris prosecutor's office said on Saturday.

Officials have not offered any details on the location or time of Musk's scheduled interview.

The French investigation focuses on several suspected criminal offences including complicity in possessing child sexual abuse material and denial of crimes against humanity.

The social media company in July called the probe "politically motivated".
