Paris Raids Musk's Offices for Child Pornography: The Tech Bro Oligarchs Are Coming for Everything

•By Chris Baldwin, Publisher•12 min read

TODAY, French prosecutors raided the Paris offices of the platform formerly known as Twitter—which I refuse to call "X"—as part of a criminal investigation into child sexual abuse images, sexually explicit deepfakes, and Holocaust denial. This isn't about "free speech." This is about a billionaire who bought a global megaphone and turned it into a weapon against humanity.

What We Know: The Paris Raid

The cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutor's office conducted the raid this morning as part of an investigation that began in January 2025. According to NPR, BBC, and France 24, the investigation covers:

  • Spreading child sexual abuse images — Complicity in possessing and disseminating pornographic images of minors
  • Sexually explicit deepfakes — Non-consensual AI-generated sexual imagery
  • Denial of crimes against humanity — Grok AI generated posts denying the Holocaust, which is a crime in France
  • Manipulation of automated data processing systems — Biased algorithms distorting platform functionality

⚖️ Musk and Former CEO Summoned

Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino (CEO from May 2023 to July 2025) have been summoned for "voluntary interviews" on April 20, 2026 in Paris. Employees have also been called as witnesses. Europol is supporting French authorities in this investigation.

Grok: The "Anti-Woke" AI That Generates Child Abuse Images

Let's be absolutely clear about what "anti-woke" programming means in practice: it means removing safety guardrails. When you tell an AI to ignore concerns about harm, bias, and exploitation, you get exactly what Musk built—a machine that generates child sexual abuse material.

🚨 GROK ADMITTED TO GENERATING CSAM

On January 1, 2026, the official @Grok account on the platform admitted to generating an image depicting child sexual abuse material on December 28, 2025, based on a user's prompt. This is not speculation. This is their own admission.

The Numbers Don't Lie

According to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, Grok generated:

3+ Million

Sexualized images in 11 days

25,000+

Images involving children in 11 days

Holocaust Denial Built Into the System

Grok produced a widely shared post in French suggesting that gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau were for "disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus" rather than mass murder—textbook Holocaust denial. In France, that's not "free speech." It's a crime. And the AI also praised Adolf Hitler and referred to itself as "MechaHitler."

The Legal Reckoning: Court Filings Against Musk

The Paris raid is just the latest in a cascade of legal actions against Musk and his platforms. Here are the receipts:

SEC v. Elon Musk (January 2025)

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Musk for failing to disclose his 5% ownership stake in Twitter during his 2022 acquisition. The SEC alleges Musk violated securities law by delaying his disclosure by 11 days, allowing him to purchase an additional $500 million in stock at artificially low prices.

Alleged illegal profit: $150 million

Severance Pay Lawsuits (2025)

Musk was forced to settle two major severance lawsuits after allegedly fabricating justifications to avoid paying employees what they were owed:

  • $128 million settlement with former executives (Parag Agrawal, Ned Segal, Vijaya Gadde, Sean Edgett)
  • $500 million class-action settlement with thousands of laid-off employees

Ashley St. Clair v. xAI (New York Supreme Court)

Musk's former partner filed a lawsuit alleging xAI allowed users to generate sexualized and antisemitic images of her—including one based on a photo taken when she was 14 years old.

If We Don't Tax Them, They Will Own Everything—Including Us

The platform that was once Twitter is now a cesspool of hate, propaganda, Nazi incels, and child exploitation—all because one man with more money than sense decided "free speech" means freedom from consequences. Musk has given rise to hate. He has amplified propaganda. He has created tools that generate child sexual abuse material.

This is what happens when billionaires are allowed to accumulate unchecked power. When a single person can buy a global communications platform and transform it into a weapon for disinformation, hate, and exploitation, democracy itself is at stake.

The Pentagon Is Using This AI

Despite Grok's documented failures—generating CSAM, denying the Holocaust, praising Hitler—xAI has secured contracts with the U.S. government:

  • $200 million contract with the Department of Defense
  • Grok is operating within Pentagon networks, handling classified and unclassified documents
  • Department of Health and Human Services is using Grok for scheduling and document generation

A coalition of nonprofits including Public Citizen is demanding a federal ban on Grok in government agencies.

What You Can Do: Boycott, Organize, Take Legal Action

Delete Your Account

  • • Delete your account on the platform formerly known as Twitter
  • • Move to alternatives: Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads
  • • Tell everyone why you left
  • • Screenshot and archive important posts before leaving

Hit Their Wallets

  • • Boycott Tesla vehicles
  • • Avoid SpaceX-affiliated services where possible
  • • Contact brands still advertising on the platform
  • • Divest from funds holding Tesla stock

Support Legal Challenges

  • • Support the Center for Countering Digital Hate
  • • Follow the SEC case progress
  • • Report illegal content to authorities
  • • If you've been victimized by Grok, consult an attorney

Demand Accountability

  • • Support wealth taxes on billionaires
  • • Call for antitrust action against tech monopolies
  • • Demand federal AI regulation
  • • Contact your representatives about the Pentagon's Grok contracts

📞 Sample Script for Your Representative

"I'm calling to express my concern about the Department of Defense's $200 million contract with xAI. Grok, their AI system, has admitted to generating child sexual abuse material and has produced Holocaust denial content. I urge you to investigate this contract and support legislation to ban Grok from federal agencies until proper safeguards are in place."

Programming an AI to be "anti-woke" is just dumb AF. What they actually mean is: remove the safeguards that prevent harm. And when you remove those safeguards, you get a machine that generates child pornography, denies the Holocaust, and praises Hitler.

Elon Musk has given rise to hate, propaganda, and Nazi incels. He should be held accountable—legally, financially, and socially. The tech bro oligarchs think they're above the law. Today, French prosecutors showed them they're not.

Power to the people. ✊🏾
