Giant Elon Musk Effigy Accusing Grok of CSAM Appeared in Times Square
A 40 foot inflatable of a shirtless Elon Musk appeared in New York's Times Square this morning protesting Grok's generation of CSAM.
“SPACEX'S GROK MAKES AI CHILD PORN” reads the huge, regrettably shirtless Elon Musk inflatable.
The inflatable was meant as a warning to SpaceX shareholders ahead of its IPO.

It’s colorfully whimsical and definitely not shy (special notice to the Ketamine heart tattoo):
An AI-responsibility advocacy group claims responsibility for this piece of art.
Musk’s Grok AI has been the subject of severe global scrutiny and legal action following allegations that its image generation capabilities were used to create and distribute Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and non-consensual deepfakes.
“The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) charity says its analysts have discovered "criminal imagery" of girls aged between 11 and 13 which "appears to have been created" using Grok,” the BBC reported in January of this year.
Multiple governments, civil agencies, and local police departments are actively investigating how Grok's image generation features were manipulated to create and distribute illicit sexual content involving minors.
As Musk was preparing for SpaceX to go public, Iran threatened to strike Musk owned companies, designating SpaceX & Starlink ground stations and regional facilities in the Middle East as “military targets”.
SpaceX raised $75 billion in its IPO, setting IPO price of $135 which is being reported as the largest stock debut ever. The New York Times, ever aligned with fellow wealthy elites, says this furthers Musk’s power.
Isn’t that exactly what we’d expect from Donald Trump’s oligarchy fall guy?
None of Musk’s monetary success is a surprise given all that he’s sacrificed to run from the legal troubles his actions have caused him. He’s aligned himself with a criminal, presumably because they ultimately share values necessary to operate as this kind of “businessman” — someone who rapes the land, steals from the poor, enables abuse of women and children and cons their fellow man.
All of the money in the world can’t buy coolness, and Elon Musk desperately wants to be cool. Instead, he’s being mocked in Times Square like the super villain he is.

A fitting reminder of how toxic Musk is in everything he does. His floating image should be accompanied by one of Trump, Hegsbreath, Patel,
and all the corrupt cabinet members who have profited by bankrupting the country.Corruption is at the rotten core of this regime and the total lack of accountability, integrity,incompetence and morality is mind blowing. They all deserve to be punished for their crimes against humanity.
Excellent! Maybe a companion effigy of 47 needs to appear next.
