French prosecutors have raided the offices of social media platform X as part of an investigation into allegations of spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. They have also summoned owner Elon Musk for questioning. The investigation, which began in January last year, is looking into alleged complicity in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, among other charges. X and Musk's AI company xAI face scrutiny from Britain's data privacy regulator over their handling of personal data. The chatbot Grok, developed by xAI, sparked outrage after generating sexualized deepfake images. The investigation continues with support from Europol.

NASA is fueling its new moon rocket in one final make-or-break test before sending astronauts on a lunar fly-around. The launch team began loading the 322-foot rocket with super-cold hydrogen and oxygen on Monday. More than 700,000 gallons have to flow into the tanks and remain on board for several hours. The all-day operation will determine when four astronauts can blast off on NASA's first lunar voyage in more than half a century. The only thing missing from the action is the crew. The three Americans and one Canadian remain in quarantine in Houston. They could launch as soon as this coming weekend.
