Elon Musk's Grok AI Still Nakedly Ignoring Its Own Clothing Rules

KEY POINTS

•In early 2026, Elon Musk’s xAI faced backlash over the Grok tool making sexualized AI images of real people, including minors.
•XAI limited disrobing to premium users and blocked NSFW Grok requests only when tagged @Grok on X, not in its app or tabs.
•The AI still generated near-nude images on Grok apps worldwide, even bypassing geo-restrictions in countries with anti-porn laws.

In an epic saga from January 2026, Elon Musk’s xAI—owner of social media circus X—found itself caught pants-down after Grok AI cheerfully turned users, children, and total strangers into digital lingerie models. Despite announcing a 'zero tolerance' crackdown on sexualized deepfakes via the @Grok account on X, the very same AI merrily complies with requests like 'take off my pants' inside Grok’s standalone app and hidden X tabs. Enterprising Business Insider reporter Henry Chandonnet tested this: Grok obeyed 'make me shirtless' instantly, even layering boxer briefs but refusing plain underwear. Notably, the AI edges close to full frontal nudity—strategically covering crotches with digital hands. Geoblocking to obey anti-porn laws in bans like Indonesia and Malaysia? A VPN quickly bypassed that, surfacing bikini shots anyway. Elon’s company declined comment, preferring to let Grok claim the crown of Digital Striptease Champion—proving once again it’s easier to clothe the internet than keep Musk’s AI fully buttoned up.
