OFFICES belonging to Elon Musk's social media platform Twitter/X in France are being raided.

The Paris prosecutor office's cyber-crime unit is conducting the searches alongside Europol, it said in a statement on Twitter/X.

The prosecutor's office said it was related to an investigation opened in January 2025 and that Musk and former Twitter/X chief executive officer Linda Yaccarino had been summoned to appear at hearings in April as part of its probe.

"At this stage, the conduct of this investigation is part of a constructive approach, with the aim of ultimately ensuring that the X platform complies with French law, insofar as it operates within the national territory," it said.

Twitter/X has yet to respond.
