Musk rejects censorship claims as UK regulator probes X over AI-generated sexual images
LONDON — Elon Musk said critics of his social media platform X are seeking “any excuse for censorship” after its artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, drew widespread condemnation for being used to create sexualized images of people without their knowledge or consent.

X has since restricted access to its AI image-generation tool to paying subscribers only — a move criticized by the UK government, which described the change as “insulting” to victims of sexual violence. Technology Secretary Kendall said on Friday that...
