French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has accused Elon Musk of engaging in online harassment targeting European leaders and warned of possible foreign interference in France’s 2027 presidential election.
Barrot also alleged that an unidentified Israeli company created fake French social media accounts focused on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Musk has described developments in France as an “invasion,” while US President Donald Trump has criticized what he calls mass migration.
The allegations highlight growing European concerns about social media manipulation, foreign influence operations and the potential impact of online campaigns on democratic processes ahead of France’s next presidential election.
