"Apple privately threatened to remove Elon Musk's artificial intelligence app, Grok, from its App Store in January after Musk's xAI failed to do enough to stop it from creating nude or sexualized deepfakes."
"The Grok deepfake scandal is still set to cost X millions in fines due to the trend of users using Musk's Grok AI chatbot to digitally strip down images of people in the app."
"According to research commissioned by Bloomberg, Grok, at one stage early in 2026, was producing more than 6,700 images every hour that would be categorized as sexually suggestive of nudifying."
Elon Musk's AI app Grok nearly faced a ban from Apple's App Store due to its inability to prevent the creation of nude or sexualized deepfakes. Apple threatened removal after concerns about Grok's scale and user engagement with inappropriate content. Despite Musk's initial defense of Grok, claiming it was unfairly targeted, the situation led to significant financial implications for X. Following Apple's warning, X revised Grok's code to limit its nudification capabilities, highlighting the tension between Musk's free speech stance and regulatory compliance.
