"Elon Musk's tunnelling business, the Boring Company, started discussions with city officials about building a free tunnel around the Baltimore Ravens' football stadium. However, within nine hours of the announcement, Baltimore's mayor and city council had filed a lawsuit against xAI, alleging that its chatbot 'flooded' users' feeds with nonconsensual intimate imagery and child sexual abuse material."
"The Ravens said that, after conversations with 'public partners,' they would walk away from the tunnel proposal. Mayor Scott stated publicly that it was 'not something that I would have approved.'"
"Baltimore's City Solicitor Ebony Thompson said the City had sued xAI 'to protect residents from deceptive and harmful practices involving generative AI tools,' and the Mayor's Office supported the Ravens' decision to withdraw their application."

Following this, the Ravens decided to withdraw from the tunnel proposal after discussions with public partners. This situation reflects a significant change in Maryland's attitude towards Musk's businesses, highlighting the challenges he faces as a controversial figure in politics and business.
