Elon Musk's X Faces French Legal Scrutiny for Alleged Data Manipulation

Elon Musk's social media platform, X, is under scrutiny as French authorities launch an investigation into alleged data tampering and fraud. The company has dismissed these claims as politically charged.

The Paris prosecutor's office initiated the investigation based on reports of possible manipulation of X's algorithms and fraudulent data extraction. However, details remain sparse.

X asserts that the investigation misinterprets French law to push a political agenda and curb free speech. The case, described as politically motivated by X, involves accusations of foreign interference, according to prosecutors who have yet to disclose full details.
