Activists raise 40-foot Elon Musk effigy in Times Square

Activists erected a large inflatable figure of Elon Musk in New York City’s Times Square on June 11 to protest the AI chatbot Grok.

In the middle of New York City’s Times Square, a massive, inflatable effigy of billionaire Elon Musk towered over tourists and commuters earlier today. It was surrounded by black banners with statements alleging “Grok makes AI child porn” and “SpaceX owns Grok,” referring to the Musk-owned AI chatbot whose image-generation tool was used to create a flood of sexualized images of minors earlier this year.

Masked attendants stood nearby, handing out flyers with additional information, but they would not speak with the media.

Elon Musk testified for three days as the first witness in his lawsuit against OpenAI, facing tough cross-examination that highlighted inconsistencies and concessions. The trial, ongoing in federal court, centers on Musk's claims that OpenAI abandoned its nonprofit mission. OpenAI lawyers portrayed Musk as jealous and dishonest, damaging his credibility before the jury.

Apple warned Elon Musk's xAI that its Grok AI app faced removal from the App Store unless it addressed issues with sexualized deepfakes. The company detailed its actions in a letter to US senators amid concerns over abusive image generation. Grok was rejected, reworked, and later approved after improvements.

Elon Musk insulted Paris prosecutors by calling them 'mentally retarded' on X, following a report to US authorities about possible manipulation to artificially boost the value of his companies X and xAI. The parquet suspects a controversy over deepfakes generated by the Grok AI was orchestrated ahead of a June 2026 IPO.
