France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content.
The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes.

A political firestorm has erupted in Brussels as French MEPs accuse European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of secretly negotiating a €35 billion vaccine deal with Pfizer—via SMS. With no tenders or transparency, critics allege "abuse of power" and demand accountability. The scandal, now dubbed “Pfizergate,” comes days before a critical no-confidence vote. Calls for von der Leyen’s resignation grow louder as questions swirl around pricing, procurement, and the hidden texts that could shake the EU to its core.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reminded Donald Trump that the EU remains open for a trade deal—but the U.S. President made it clear: China and India come first. Speaking after sealing deals with Beijing and hinting at a "very big" one with India, Trump gave no indication of engaging with Europe anytime soon. The EU, once a top U.S. economic partner, is now seemingly sidelined as Washington pivots eastward. The diplomatic slight leaves Brussels waiting in line—behind two of the world’s biggest emerging powerhouses.
