Elon Musk has not attended a voluntary interview he was summoned to appear at in Paris, according to French authorities probing his platform X.

The company’s offices were raided by the Paris prosecutor’s cyber-crime unit in February over suspected criminal offences related to content on the platform.

Musk was given the date of 20 April for an interview as part of an investigation first launched in 2025 but later widened over concerns about X’s chatbot Grok being used to create non-consensual sexual deepfake images.

The Paris prosecutor’s office told the BBC in a statement on Monday - without naming Musk - it had “taken note of the absence of the people summoned”.
