Elon Musk Warns Grok Users: Illegal Content Will Face Severe Consequences

  • Elon Musk warned X users that creating illegal content with Grok AI will lead to the same consequences as uploading illegal content.
  • The warning follows a directive from India's MeitY for X to remove vulgar/unlawful Grok-generated content or face legal action.
  • MeitY had previously issued a formal notice to X, citing misuse of Grok for obscene and derogatory content targeting women and children.
  • X was directed to review Grok's design, remove unlawful content, act against users, and submit an Action Taken Report within 72 hours.
  • French authorities are also investigating X over complaints of Grok AI being used to generate sexual deepfakes.

Why It Matters: Musk warns Grok users against illegal content after government backlash and deepfake concerns.
