Elon Musk’s social media platform X has denied accusations from French prosecutors of alleged data tampering and fraud, calling the allegations politically motivated. The Paris prosecutor’s office announced an investigation into two offenses, which involve an automated data processing system, potentially punishable in France with a jail term of up to 10 years. X said it remains unaware of the specific allegations but believes the investigation is distorting French law to serve a political agenda and restrict free speech. The platform has not responded formally to the prosecutor’s request for access to its algorithm.
