Musk hits out at ‘fascist’ UK as row over Grok AI escalates

Responding to a chart showing arrest figures for online posts with the UK at the top, Mr Musk said:  “Why is the UK government so fascist?”

On Friday, X appeared to have changed Grok’s settings, with the chatbot telling users that only paid subscribers could ask it to manipulate images.

Elon Musk has accused the British Government of being “fascist” after ministers stepped up threats to ban social media site X over AI-generated sexualised images.

The tech tycoon claimed critics of his X platform “want any excuse for censorship” as he appeared defiant despite the outcry over the use of the Grok artificial intelligence feature to create fake images of people, including children.
