“I am not aware of any images of naked minors generated by Grok. Literally none,” Musk wrote on his social network.
The also CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX said that Grok only generates the images that users request and that “he will refuse to produce any illegal content, since the operating principle of Grok is to obey the laws of any country or state.”
“There may be times when a computer attack on Grok’s instructions produces unexpected results. If that happens, we fix the error immediately,” he adds.

Musk would have asked Grok to generate an image of himself in a bikini
Musk’s statements come amid increased scrutiny from both the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom.
Brussels described the appearance of non-consensual, sexually explicit deepfakes on X as “illegal”, “atrocious” and “disgusting”.
This month, X Premium subscribers began using Grok to generate non-consensual images of people in their underwear, a disturbing trend that led users around the world to call for further restrictions on the tool and the removal of the generated content.
Amid Grok’s growing tendency to create images of people in bikinis or scantily clad, on January 2, Musk participated in the controversy by posting a photo of himself in a bikini.
Musk asked Grok to modify an AI-generated image of someone in a bikini to make it look like him, a request that the tool executed without problems.
“Perfect,” Musk wrote on his networks after seeing the result of the AI.
However, on January 3, Musk stated that “anyone who uses Grok to create illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they uploaded illegal content,” in response to a post about inappropriate images.
The company’s security team posted a similar message, warning that it takes action against illegal activity, including child sexual abuse material.
