Lawsuit against Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling
French prosecutors have launched an investigation into the online harassment of Algerian Olympic boxing champion Imane Khelif. After winning gold in the women’s welterweight division at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Khelif faced a wave of misogynistic, racist, and sexist cyber harassment, including false claims about her sex and gender identity.
The investigation, prompted by a legal complaint from Khelif’s lawyer, targets gender-based cyber harassment, public insults, and incitement to discrimination.
High-profile figures like Donald Trump, J.K. Rowling, and Elon Musk were noted for amplifying misinformation. The investigation is part of broader efforts by France’s hate crimes unit, which is also looking into threats against other Olympic figures.
This is an interview of Imani Khalef. It is unclear how France can take action against a US citizen. France has a strong history of taking action against women related issues.

A lot of noise from politicians, athletes, stars, artists. Elon Musk, and Donald Trump, and that hurt me a lot. I cannot describe how scared I was and it made me wonder, why did this happen to Iman Khalifa and why there was a campaign against me by the whole world?
But I was able to overcome this situation. Thanks to the therapists who were helping me. It was a very difficult stage that I did not expect. But thank God the whole world knows. Iman Khalif with her femininity, courage, and will.
The ex president of the US began exploiting your case in his election campaign. Also, Elon Musk, what do you want to expect from them? I do not like to bring politics into sports. Sports and politics are two different things. These politicians wronged me. They have no right to call me a transgender. This thing is a disgrace to my honor and honor to my family and to Algeria and to the entire Arab world. The whole world knows I am a Muslim woman.
And to everyone that will apologize, I will accept if they apologize. But I am sending my message that I am female and I will remain a female.
Meanwhile, Elon:
CONCLUSION
I have not read the complaint. It is unclear how France can take action against a US and UK citizen, however, the Olympics were held in France. Any ruling from a French Court can be domesticated to take action so it is not totally far out. I wish Imani the best. To be humiliated when you are competing for a gold is awful. I wish her the best in her legal cases and hope she raises tons of money to fight in the US, UK, and France. Her opponents are loaded and know better. Elon’s daughter Vivian has raised concerns about him and he enabled a lot of noise on X.
