India, Feb. 3 -- The French authorities have summoned Elon Musk to appear before them for answering questions related to the probe into his social media platform X, the Paris prosecutor's office said on Tuesday.

"Summons for voluntary interviews on April 20, 2026, in Paris have been sent to Mr. Elon Musk and Ms. Linda Yaccarino, in their capacity as de facto and de jure managers of the X platform at the time of the events," AFP cited the prosecutor's office as saying.

Yaccarino had resigned as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of X in July last year, after a couple of years at the company.
