The European Commission has announced it is investigating Elon Musk's X and Grok, its AI generation tool, for "manipulated sexually explicit images, including content that may amount to child sexual abuse material."

In December 2025, the social media site was hit with deepfake sexual imagery, where users could request Grok to generate pictures by simply tagging the account. The image generation tool was then made only available to subscribers. Grok then announced that measures were introduced to stop the "editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis. This restriction applies to all users, including paid subscribers."
