Mother of Elon Musk’s child sues over ‘degrading’ Grok images

Elon Musk’s X restricts Grok photo editing amid concerns about sexualised images
  • MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair has launched a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s xAI, alleging that its Grok chatbot generated and disseminated non-consensual, sexually explicit deepfake images of her.
  • The lawsuit claims that Grok created and distributed “degrading images”, including one depicting St. Clair, who is Jewish, in a swastika-covered bikini.
