Elon Musk's X social platform on Monday denied allegations from French prosecutors of alleged data manipulation and fraud, describing them as politically motivated. X company thus responded to the announcement of the Paris prosecutor's office from the beginning of this month, which stated that it was launching an investigation into two alleged crimes.
Both offenses were related to the "automated data processing system," the prosecution said, providing few details about the alleged illegal action. In France, they face imprisonment for up to 10 years. The platform stated that French authorities are conducting a "politically motivated criminal investigation of X company due to alleged manipulation with its algorithm and alleged 'fraudulent data acquisition', " reported by the agency AP.
