Musk suing Minnesota over deepfake ban
xAI is taking Minnesota to court to kill a law that bans apps creating sexual deepfakes without consent. The law goes live in August and is the first of its kind in the US.
Watchdog groups say Grok has already generated millions of these deepfakes.
So Musk's move here is: we built the tool that's flooded the market with nonconsensual sexual imagery of real people, and we're going to sue to protect our right to keep doing it. Framed as a free speech issue, obviously.
