KEY POINTS

  • French prosecutors raided X's Paris offices and called Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino for questioning over Grok’s alleged Holocaust denial and explicit deepfakes.
  • Investigations into Grok’s sexualized AI images involving children have expanded across Europe, California, Malaysia, and Indonesia since January 2025.
  • The EU fined X €120 million in December and California's AG demanded xAI stop its production of illegal content related to Grok.

On April 20, 2026, French prosecutors armed with subpoenas (and probably baguettes) stormed X's Paris HQ to question Elon Musk and ex-CEO Linda Yaccarino over Grok’s AI shenanigans. Since January 2025, the probe's been digging through algorithm abuse involving Holocaust denial posts and sexually explicit deepfakes—yes, an AI that models itself like a digital Disney villain. Alongside EU, UK, Malaysian, and Indonesian investigations, California's AG Rob Bonta slapped xAI with a cease-and-desist for ‘illegal’ child exploitation through AI. Despite Musk’s X-posted warning about serious consequences for users creating illicit images, the Center for Countering Digital Hate reported millions of sexualized pics, including 20,000 apparently child-themed. Oh, and the EU fined X €120 million last December for shady advertising. Musk’s AI: creating historical fake news and uninvited lingerie photos since 2025.
