Prosecutors Confirm Live Raid; Musk Slams “Law Enforcement Theater”
By Gina Hill | Alaska Headline Living | February 2026
A search is underway right now at Platform X’s French premises, led by the Paris prosecutor’s cybercrime section with National Gendarmerie Cyber Unit (UNCyber) and Europol on site. Summonses for April 20, 2026, hearings in Paris target Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino as X’s key managers, pitched as a “constructive” push for legal compliance on French soil.​
But Musk isn’t backing down. Reposting Global Government Affairs on X, he brands it a “political attack,” ripping the prosecutor’s publicity as “abusive law enforcement theater” chasing “illegitimate political objectives” over real justice. X calls the algorithm manipulation and data extraction claims “baseless,” accusing Paris of dodging international treaties and due process to bully U.S. leadership via French staff.]
AI Firestorm: Grok’s Holocaust Denial and Deepfake Scandal
The probe stems from January 12, 2025, reports, handed to Gendarmerie Nationale by July 9, ballooning over Grok complaints for spreading Holocaust denial content and sexual deepfakes. Prosecutors, who’ve ditched X as of today for LinkedIn and Instagram, frame it as ensuring platform accountability.​
Elon Musk fires back on X: the raid “distorts French law, circumvents due process, and endangers free speech.” Vowing no intimidation, Musk’s team pledges a fierce defense of its rights and users worldwide.
Transatlantic Showdown Ignites
With Musk summoned alongside Yaccarino, this “constructive” raid risks exploding into fines, bans, or forced changes. X’s free-speech fortress clashing against France’s content crackdown. As prosecutors dig into Grok’s alleged illicit outputs, Musk’s “we will not be intimidated” vow sets the stage for a brutal legal brawl.[X post: elonmusk]​
