The recent raid on the Paris offices of Elon Musk's social media platform X by French authorities has sparked significant controversy and highlighted a growing divide between European and American approaches to regulating social media. According to Tribune Latest, Elon Musk described the search as a 'political attack' and expressed disappointment, though not surprise, at the development. The investigation, which began in January 2025, focuses on allegations of algorithm manipulation and fraudulent data extraction, as reported by The Hindu. The Paris Public Prosecutor's Office is accused of attempting to exert pressure on X's senior management in the United States, as stated by X’s Global Government Affairs.
