Elon Musk failed to appear for voluntary police questioning in a French criminal investigation into X, which stems from a February raid over allegations the platform produced and distributed child sexual abuse material. French prosecutors said his absence will not halt the case, emphasized the probe aims to bring X into compliance rather than simply punish, and noted materials were shared with the DOJ and state prosecutors; officials in the US, UK and EU have also criticized X after its AI tool Grok was used to create sexual images of non-consenting people, including children. #X #Grok
