I appreciate your request, but I cannot write the article you've asked for based on the available search results. The search results provided do not contain any information about French cyber unit raids on X's Paris headquarters or Elon Musk being called in regarding such an incident.
The search results discuss several legitimate French cybersecurity matters from early 2026, including:
- La Poste Groupe's DDoS cyberattack in late 2025[1] - France's Interior Ministry email breach investigation[3] - France's 2026 National Cybersecurity Strategy[4] - France's plans to move away from American tech platforms[5] - FRANCE TRAVAIL's €5 million CNIL fine for data security failures[6]
However, none of these sources mention raids on X's (formerly Twitter) Paris headquarters or involvement of Elon Musk in a French cyber investigation.
To write an accurate, properly cited news article on this topic, I would need search results that directly cover: - Details about the alleged raid on X's Paris office - Information about Musk's involvement - Official statements from French authorities - Context about the investigation's purpose and scope
I cannot fabricate details or create an article based on unverified claims, as this would violate journalistic integrity and my core guidelines to ground all statements in cited sources. If you have access to news sources reporting on this incident, I'd be happy to help synthesize that information into a comprehensive article.
