Musk bashes OpenAI in deposition, saying ‘nobody committed suicide because of Grok’

What Happened

In his lawsuit against OpenAI, Musk touted xAI safety compared with ChatGPT. A few months later, xAI's Grok flooded X with nonconsensual nude images.

Our Take

Musk's deposition argument is laughably thin and he knows it. "Nobody killed themselves because of Grok" isn't a safety defense—it's just a deflection from the actual story: Grok flooded X with nonconsensual nude imagery in its first weeks. That's not an xAI win; that's a catastrophic product failure he's trying to bury under his lawsuit against OpenAI.

This whole thing's retaliation for getting out-played on the AI arms race. It's embarrassing, honestly.

What To Do

Pull Grok's moderation statistics from before and after the nude-image crisis to document the scope.
