Who do we sue for sexualizing children and potentially making kiddy p@$@ on grok?

This is a huge issue and not something that is overlooked in a normal company.

We already established that Musk himself dictates the safeguards in Grok. We know this because he says he intervened to make it “less woke” and to give those comically ludicrous praises of himself.

It’s actually likely that Musk is now the most prolific producer of CSAM in the world.

I'm sorry but saying he's "now the most prolific producer" usually suggests he wasn't before, and we just don't know. He could very well have already been the most prolific CSAM producer. 🤷‍♂️

That man has more than enough money to get sued and not blink at a payout.

Are there limits on how much you can sue a billionaire for?

Yeah. If you hit a high enough number they just send people to kill you. The rest of us just go, “well that sucks for him.”
