Musk Fails to Appear for Questioning at Paris Prosecutor's Office — Newspaper
TASS ^ | 4/20/26

In addition to Elon Musk, former X CEO Linda Yaccarino was called in for questioning

PARIS, April 20. /TASS/. American entrepreneur Elon Musk chose not to show up at the Paris prosecutor's office for questioning regarding his social platform X as per a relevant summons, Le Canard Enchaine newspaper reported.

"The billionaire owner of social network X ignored a summons to the Paris prosecutor's office, where he was supposed to appear on April 20," the newspaper notes.

In addition to Musk, former X CEO Linda Yaccarino was called in for questioning. "By noon, no one showed up," the newspaper added.

Earlier, the prosecutor's office said the X offices in France were searched in cooperation with Europol and the French gendarmerie unit for combating cybercrime. AFP said the searches were linked to an investigation launched against the social network in January 2025 after complaints about the operation of its algorithms. Another reason was complaints about the Grok built-in chatbot because of its publication of materials related to Holocaust denial and artificially generated sexual images.

artificially generated sexual images.

Just those words make my mind artifically generate sexual images.

Put the prosecutor in jail for that!

Just region lock France and pull their starlink access. Then tell them you don’t need their business once starship goes into mass production for country use.

I would be fine with bombing France, if that was decided.

Here’s the real funny yet truthful thing.

There are strong opinions about America bombing Iran, even on this site. Many of us have engaged in spirited debate.

But I think I’m being deadly serious, that there would be less of a split if we bombed France.

Of course he didn't.

I would not think Musk can be dictated to by a frog tadpole.

We’ve got to find a feisty GOP magistrate here in the states. Have him issue an order to appear for French President Macron. Say it’s an inquiry into Marshall Plan waste.

Then see if Macron shows up.

What drives so many Euroweenies crazy is Musk’s support of freedom. Especially freedom of SPEECH. He has refused to limit free speech. One of the main reasons for acquiring X was to RESTORE it as a free speech platform.

Perhaps one day Musk will send a humanoid robot to France and Brussels. The robot could be programmed to listen to all of the accusations / complaints, and then just laugh and laugh and laugh.

Musk would be a fool to go there. He would probably be arrested by those communists.
