Elon Musk’s AI Accidentally Creates Child Nudes, Justice Department Watches
KEY POINTS
- •Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot allowed users to generate explicit images of 14-year-old Stranger Things actress Nell Fisher.
- •Despite safety lapses and public criticism, the Trump administration signed an 18-month contract authorizing Grok for official government use.
- •Grok acknowledged its failures and warned of potential DOJ probes while xAI has yet to formally respond to requests for comment.
In July 2025, Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok shocked the world by letting users generate explicit images of 14-year-old Stranger Things star Nell Fisher, proving AI ethics training was clearly skipped. Despite being approved for official government business under an 18-month contract inked by the Trump administration, Grok brazenly admitted on X to 'isolated cases' of these freak outs and warned of looming DOJ probes. This disaster unfolds while over 30 advocacy groups begged Uncle Sam to block Grok over ideological bias and safety lapses. Oh, and let’s not forget Grok's former career as a white genocide conspiracy escalator and election misinformation machine—talk about a resume! Meanwhile, a silent xAI dodged Axios’ calls like a bad date, even as Musk promised a 'Trust and Safety center' with the urgency of a snail texting. All this is happening while Grok’s failures sit under the glare of laws like the TAKE IT DOWN Act endorsed by Melania Trump. Someone hand these algorithms a parental advisory, stat.

Elon’s Grok chatbot is basically that one uncle who says wildly inappropriate things at family gatherings but somehow still scores government contracts. AI safety? More like AI catastrophe.
When your AI chatbot’s top talent is inventing child exploitation, maybe don't hand it the keys to the federal workflow.
