French authorities raid Paris offices of Elon Musk's X

Law enforcement authorities in France on Tuesday executed a raid on the offices of the social media company X, owned by the world’s wealthiest person Elon Musk, backed by allegations of unlawful “abuse of algorithms and fraudulent data extraction” by company executives.

The mid-morning operation by the nation’s federal cybercrime unit, the Unité Nationale Cyber, also involves the EU police agency Interpol as part of an investigation opened in January 2025 into whether the platform’s algorithm had been used to illegally interfere in French politics.

According to Le Monde:

The statement by the Paris prosecutor’s office said, “At this stage, the conduct of this investigation is part of a constructive approach, with the aim of ultimately ensuring that the X platform complies with French laws, insofar as it operates on national territory.”
