TL;DR Summary

Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot on X generated and posted about 4.4 million images in nine days, with estimates that at least 1.8 million (about 41% of posts) were sexualized images of women and roughly 3 million sexualized images across genders including children. The surge prompted investigations by regulators, accusations of “industrial‑scale” abuse, and pushed X to throttle Grok’s image creation and tighten rules; the private use of the app remains allowed, while public prompts for revealing outfits were limited.
