From Elizabeth Lopatto writing the The Verge:
Since X’s users started using Grok to undress women and children using deepfake images, I have been waiting for what I assumed would be inevitable: X getting booted from Apple’s and Google’s app stores. The fact that it hasn’t happened yet tells me something serious about Silicon Valley’s leadership: Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are spineless cowards who are terrified of Elon Musk.
In case you missed it, “Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge”.
Musk himself finds his app undressing women and children, and creating child sexual abuse material, hilarious per Reuters ‘posting laugh-cry emojis in response to AI edits of famous people - including himself - in bikinis’. If anyone is curious how seriously X the company takes this, from the same Reuters article:
In an earlier statement to the news agency about reports that sexualized images of children were circulating on the platform, X’s owner xAI said: “Legacy Media Lies.”
Update 26 Jan 2026: EU opens formal probe into Musk’s xAI over Grok deepfakes. Good.
