"The controversy sparked by sexually explicit deepfakes generated by Grok (X's AI) may have been deliberately generated in order to artificially boost the value of companies X and X AI."
"The prosecutor's office said it had on Tuesday reached out to the US Department of Justice, as well as French lawyers at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to share its concerns."
"AI chat bot Grok has its own account on the X social network allowing users to interact with it, generating an estimated three million sexualized images in 11 days."
French prosecutors alerted US authorities about suspicions that Elon Musk may have encouraged the controversy surrounding sexualized deepfakes on X to artificially increase the value of his companies. The Grok AI chatbot generated explicit images of women and girls without consent, leading to outrage. The prosecutor's office indicated that this controversy might have been a strategy to enhance the value of X and X AI ahead of a planned stock market listing in June 2026. Investigations are ongoing regarding X's algorithm and its political interference.
