Tesla CEO Musk Faces Summons in French Investigation Over X Data

French prosecutors have summoned Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. (TSLA), for questioning regarding an investigation into X and its AI chatbot Grok, focusing on allegations of fraudulent data extraction and complicity in child pornography distribution. The investigation, which began after a raid on X's French office, has intensified scrutiny of X under Musk's ownership. While attendance is mandatory, authorities cannot compel Musk to appear, and it remains unclear if he will comply. The investigation has recently escalated tensions between the U.S. and Europe concerning Big Tech regulations and free speech issues.
