France accuses Musk of online harassment campaigns against European leaders

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot publicly accused Elon Musk of using X to orchestrate massive online harassment campaigns against European leaders, framing it as part of foreign efforts to destabilize France ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The accusation marks an escalation in Franco-US tensions over platform governance and election interference, though no specific evidence was cited. This signals growing state-level friction over digital influence operations.
