French authorities suspect Elon Musk of supporting erotic deepfake content on his social media platform X to increase the company's value. The investigation focuses on whether Musk deliberately allowed or encouraged the spread of AI-generated pornographic images to drive user engagement and platform growth. France joins Britain and the European Union, which have already launched their own investigations into erotic deepfakes. The deepfake phenomenon involves using artificial intelligence to create realistic but fake pornographic videos or images, often featuring celebrities or other individuals without their consent, raising serious concerns about digital harassment and privacy violations.
