Look who suddenly remembers the First Amendment!! This is the excuse the American Department of Justice gave for not helping: 

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Justice Department told French law enforcement authorities that it would not facilitate their efforts to investigate Musk’s X. The newspaper reported that the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs, in a two-page letter last week, accused the French of inappropriately using its justice system to interfere with an American business.

“This investigation seeks to use the criminal legal system in France to regulate a public square for the free expression of ideas and opinions in a manner contrary to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution,” said the letter quoted by The Wall Street Journal.
