A woman who says she was repeatedly raped as a child is suing Elon Musk and his artificial intelligence firm xAI in a US federal court in San Jose, alleging the company's Grok chatbot generated child sexual abuse images of her that then appeared on Musk's X social media platform.

The new lawsuit follows months of scrutiny over how Grok, xAI's AI assistant embedded in X and available as a separate app, handles sexual content and image manipulation. The case, filed this week in the Northern District of California, lands on the desk of Judge Nathanael Cousins just as xAI is already battling a separate class-action claim over so‑called AI deepfakes.
