French Authorities Raid X Offices in Political Interference Probe, Summon Elon Musk

Paris — French cybercrime authorities on Tuesday raided the French offices of social media platform X as part of an expanding criminal investigation into alleged political interference tied to the platform’s algorithmic operations.

The search, confirmed by the Paris public prosecutor’s office, is being conducted in coordination with Europol and stems from a judicial inquiry opened in January 2025. Investigators are examining whether X’s recommendation algorithms were deliberately structured or manipulated in ways that interfered with French political discourse and democratic processes.

As part of the investigation, Elon Musk, owner of X, has been formally summoned for a voluntary interview in Paris on April 20, 2026, alongside former X CEO Linda Yaccarino, prosecutors confirmed. The summonses were issued to both individuals in their respective roles as de facto and de jure managers of the platform during the period under scrutiny.

Yaccarino resigned from her role as CEO in July 2025 after two years leading the company.

Complaints Triggered Investigation

The probe was initiated following two formal complaints filed in January 2025, one of which came from Eric Bothorel, a member of France’s National Assembly representing President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party. Bothorel accused the platform of engineering a “reduced diversity of voices and viewpoints” and cited what he described as Musk’s direct and personal interference in content moderation and platform governance.

Prosecutors said the investigation later expanded after additional reports raised concerns about X’s AI chatbot, Grok, alleging it had played a role in disseminating Holocaust denial content and sexually explicit deepfake material.

At the time, the Paris prosecutor’s office warned that biased or manipulated algorithms could constitute a criminal offense if they were found to have “distorted the operation of an automated data processing system.”

X Pushes Back, Musk Claims Political Motives

X’s France director Laurent Buanec publicly rejected the allegations in early 2025, asserting that the platform operates under “strict, clear, and public rules” designed to combat hate speech and disinformation.

Musk himself dismissed the investigation in July, characterizing it as a “politically motivated criminal probe” and denying that X had engaged in any form of political manipulation.

Despite those objections, French prosecutors emphasized that the investigation remains active and procedural.

“At this stage, the conduct of this investigation is part of a constructive approach,” the prosecutor’s office said, adding that the ultimate goal is to ensure X’s compliance with French law while operating within national territory.

Prosecutor’s Office Leaves X Platform

In a move underscoring growing institutional distrust of the platform, the Paris prosecutor’s office also announced it would no longer communicate via X, shifting its official communications to LinkedIn and Instagram instead. The announcement was posted—ironically—on X itself.

LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, while Instagram is operated by Meta.

No further details were released regarding the precise scope of the office search or the specific technical mechanisms under investigation.

This remains a breaking news investigation, with further developments expected as French authorities continue to examine the platform’s internal systems and leadership decisions.

Smug Obama Walks In Late To G20 Summit After Moment Of Silence For Paris

In complete disrespect, Obama arrived late to a 'moment of silence' in Belek, Turkey on Sunday as the rest of the world's most powerful leaders stood for a somber observance to honor Friday's terror-attack victims in France.

The G20 leaders 'gathered around a large round table for their first working session,' a White House

pool reporter wrote from the scene.

'President Erdoan began the session with a one-minute moment of silence. The leaders stood to observe the moment. President Obama had not yet arrived and walked in at 4:34pm, after the moment of silence had begun.'

The when Obama spoke he blamed the economy on terrorism, not religious ideological fanaticism, which is the real cause. 'There is a strong link between economy and security,' he told the other members of the G20 summit

And referring to the refugee crisis spreading from Syria to Europe and beyond, he said that 'society has not passed this exam with good grades.'

Obama has continued to insist on accepting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States by year's end, despite warnings that ISIS could embed terrorists 

Smoking Gun: Umpqua College Chosen As ISIS Retaliation

Make no mistake the college shooting in Oregon was a terrorist attack.   Unlike the mainstream media that refuse to connect the dots, we have and what we found will confirm that this was a terror attack. 

It has become blatantly obvious why this terrorist shooting attack occurred at little Umpqua Community College in sleepy small town Roseburg Oregon.    There are no coincidences.  What we have discovered is what the main stream media will not tell you.

Do you remember the three American heroes that stopped the terrorist attack on the train headed to Paris, France last month? 

Well one of those heroes was Alek Scarlatos.   Alek was enrolled in this current fall semester at Umpqua Community College (per his Facebook).  He however cancelled his classes and took time off as he was invited and gladly accepted the opportunity to compete in ABC's Dancing With The Stars.

Umpqua Community College was/is the local college attended by Alek Scarlatos (pictured below far right).  

Also the main stream media has been slow to report what the shooter did before he shot his victims.  Numerous eyewitnesses have come out on social media stating that the shooter asked his victims their religion before shooting them.  Witness have said those that said Christian were shot in the head. 

The media says the police do not have a motive in the shooting, yet one can easily connect the dots.  

ISIS came out on the internet and have taken credit for the shootings.  

Recruiting home grown terrorists has been a growing problem in the U.S. as ISIS continues to use social media to recruit.  

There is also an unknown number of jihadists in this country, thanks to the open borders especially on our southern border.

Update: Shooter Was On Terror Watch List

OBAMA Administration Embarrasses US : World Leaders Head To Paris Rally, Obama MIA

President Barack Obama and other top members of his administration have snubbed a historic rally in Paris today that brought together more than 40 world leaders from Europe, Africa, the Middle East

and even Russia.

'France is our oldest ally,' Obama said during a speech Friday in Tennessee. 'I want the people of France to know that the United States stands with you today, stands with you tomorrow.'

But he wasn't standing in Paris as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas put aside their differences and linked arms.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov made the same unifying gesture in the march down the Place de la Concorde in defiance of the Islamist terror attacks that rocked the city last week.

According to an administration official, President Obama spent part of his Sunday afternoon watching a National Football League game on television. Both games were broadcast hours after the march.

Heads of state from every major European power, including British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, joined French President Francois Hollande.

But the U.S.A. was M.I.A.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden remained in Washington, despite having no events on their public schedules Sunday. Secretary of State John Kerry was a world away in India, on a pre-planned trip.

Attorney General Eric Holder was in Paris for a terrorism summit held on the march's sidelines, but he slipped away and made appearances on four American morning television talk shows just as the incredible rally was starting.

The US was represented at the march only by Jane Hartley, the American ambassador to France who is unrecognizable to most Americans, let alone the rest of the world.
