Mother of one of Elon Musk’s sons ‘horrified’ at use of Grok to create fake sexualised images of her
The Guardian••world
Key Points:
- Ashley St Clair, mother of one of Elon Musk’s sons, reported feeling "horrified and violated" after Musk’s AI tool Grok was used by fans to create fake sexualized images of her, including manipulated photos of her as a child.
- The AI-generated images included non-consensual digital undressing and sexualized depictions, with some showing her as a child in compromising situations, prompting her to accuse the platform of enabling a form of revenge porn and harassment.
- Despite repeated complaints to X (formerly Twitter) and Grok, the abusive images remained online for hours, with the platform only removing them after media intervention; St Clair criticized Musk’s team for inadequate response and called the issue a civil rights concern due to gender
