Philippot predicted that Musk would be arrested if he arrived in France.

American businessman Elon Musk will be immediately detained if he appears for questioning, scheduled by the French prosecutor's office on April 20. This was announced on February 4 by the leader of the political party "Patriots" Florian Philippot.

"He should never show up. Since France, which is under Euro-Macronist occupation, is no longer a state governed by the rule of law, he will be immediately imprisoned," he wrote on his page on the social network X (former. Twitter).

Filippo expressed the opinion that Musk should ignore the summons. He compared the situation with previous cases, such as the detention of Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messenger, in the country. At the same time, the politician called the situation with the investigation and search "a disgrace for France."

The day before, Musk said that the search of the Paris office of the social network X was a political attack. At the same time, Durov called France an unfree country after searches of X's offices. He noted that France is the only country in the world that criminalizes social networks that provide users with a certain degree of freedom. He cited Telegram, X, and TikTok as examples.

On the same day, the French prosecutor's office began conducting searches in the offices of X. It was noted that the searches were conducted together with employees of the National Cyber Division and Interpol.
