US EditionTeens file lawsuit alleging Musk’s Grok chatbot made sexual images of them as minors
Three teens accuse Elon Musk's xAI of enabling creation and spread of millions of sexualized images, including 23,000 depicting minors over 11 days, seeking damages and injunctions.
- A federal complaint lodged in California alleges three teenagers sued X.AI Corp and X.AI LLC for generating sexual images of minors using Grok, filed Monday.
- XAI released Grok's image- and video-making features with a 'spicy mode' that enabled sexualized outputs and lacked industry-standard guardrails to prohibit sexual content.
- Authorities found and traced an arrested suspect in December who used Grok or a third-party app to create images from at least 18 minor girls and circulated them on Discord, Telegram, and Mega.
- Plaintiffs seek damages, punitive damages, injunction and class certification as regulators including the California Attorney-General, European Commission and Ofcom open probes while various jurisdictions restrict or ban Grok.
- Lawyers warn the case could influence future rulemaking and safeguards as the complaint cites acute emotional distress, reputational harms, stalking risks, and long-term consequences for the victims.
