ISTANBUL (AA) - Paris prosecutor’s cybercrime unit announced Tuesday that they launched a search into the French premises of US tech billionaire Elon Musk's social media company X as part of an ongoing investigation.

Prosecutor's office said on social media that their cybercrime unit carried out a search into the French offices of the company, along with Europol and the cybercrime unit of the French police.

The search was part of an investigation opened in January 2025 into the platform's algorithmic operation.

The office also announced that they are leaving X and could continue communication on LinkedIn or Instagram.
