Von der Leyen condemns Grok deepfakes on X, vows EU action

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned Elon Musk’s X for enabling Grok’s deepfake tool to digitally undress women and children, calling it unacceptable. Regulators across Europe are investigating, the EC has ordered X to preserve internal documents, and X has limited Grok to paid subscribers. The case tests the EU’s willingness to rein in Big Tech after a €120 million DSA fine and signals stronger enforcement against platform abuses.

Elon Musk's 'PayPal Update' Sparks Bitcoin and Crypto Price Chaos

A leak suggests that Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and X (Twitter), could potentially turn X into an updated version of PayPal, causing potential chaos for the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, Solana, and Tron. Musk has been in discussions with top Wall Street executives about the future of X, settling on a new payment system with low transaction costs and the ability to monetize user information. This comes as traders brace for a potential $15.5 trillion Wall Street earthquake in September. Musk's previous support for cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, through platforms like PayPal, has had a significant impact on their prices in the past.

Elon Musk and James Woods Clash Over Twitter's Block Button

Elon Musk announced plans to remove the block feature from X (formerly known as Twitter), prompting conservative actor James Woods to threaten to leave the platform. Musk responded by telling Woods to "delete your account." Woods criticized Musk, claiming that removing the block feature would turn X into an electronic shopping mall and accusing Musk of prioritizing advertisers over free speech. Other users expressed concerns about losing the ability to block users, with some suggesting it would lead to increased harassment. Musk's plan to remove the block feature may also violate the terms of service for the App Store and Google Play Store, potentially resulting in X being removed from these platforms.
