Musk calls UK 'fascist' as row over X's Grok AI images escalates

Elon Musk accused the UK govt of being "fascist" after it stepped up threats to block X over sexualised images of women and children produced by his artificial intelligence tool Grok.

Responding to a chart claiming to show the UK had the highest arrests for social media comments in the world, Musk posted: "Why is the UK govt so fascist?" In separate posts hours earlier, Musk said the UK wanted to "suppress free speech" and referred to the country as a "prison island."




X has become a top site for images of people who have been non-consensually undressed by AI, a third-party analysis has found. The UK watchdog on online child sexual-abuse material said it had found "criminal" images on the dark web allegedly generated by Grok.

Indonesia suspends Grok AI over pornographic content

Indonesia suspended Grok Saturday over concerns about AI-generated pornographic content, the country's communication minister said. Indonesia is the first country to deny all access to the tool, which has been restricted to paying subscribers elsewhere following the backlash.
