CRITICS OF X “want any excuse for censorship”, Elon Musk has claimed as his social media site faces the threat of being shut down over deepfake pornography and child sexual abuse images.

The billionaire sought to push back against the outcry over X’s AI chatbot Grok creating sexualised images of people, including children, at the request of users.



Pointing to claims other AI programmes created non-sexualised images of women in bikinis, he posted on X: “They want any excuse for censorship.”

Criticism of X has focused on Grok’s production of images of child abuse and manipulation of photographs of real women and girls to remove their clothes.

Child sexual abuse material and nonconsensual image generation are not the only issues that have emerged since Musk rolled out his Grok chatbot.

At one point last year, Grok christened itself “Mecha Hitler” and Grokipedia, Musk’s AI answer to Wikipedia, pushes racist conspiracy theories while also getting some basic facts wrong.



Elon's X is now the go-to social network for pedophiles.
