Elon Musk's xAI Faces Scrutiny Over Paid Objectionable Image Generation

• Elon Musk's xAI now requires a paid subscription for objectionable image generation via Grok on X, sparking controversy.
• Users attempting to generate images with Grok are prompted for a paid subscription, though X Premium subscribers can still access it.
• Allegations suggest some subscribers use Grok to create objectionable altered images of women, appearing in X feeds.
• Grok offers expensive plans like SuperGrok ($29.99/month) and SuperGrok Heavy ($299.99/month) for faster image generation.
• Critics argue this move is a revenue strategy for the loss-making xAI, not a step towards accountability, despite deepfake criticism.

Why It Matters: Elon Musk's xAI is monetizing objectionable image generation, raising questions about revenue over accountability.
