French prosecutors claim Musk promoted non-consensual sexual imagery generation
23/03/2026 | Euractiv
French prosecutors have alerted US authorities to suspicions that Elon Musk may have encouraged the creation of non-consensual sexual images on X, including content involving children, to artificially inflate the company's value. The prosecutor's office in Paris suggests that controversies involving AI-generated images from Grok were potentially deliberate ploys to boost the valuation of X and X AI ahead of a planned stock market listing in June 2026.
The concerns were shared with the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
