As Grok continues generating sexualised images, Epic Games boss says senators calling for a ban are trying to “censor all of their political opponents”

As Grok’s controversial AI image generation continues pumping out thousands of sexualised pictures on X, Elon Musk has shifted the feature behind a paywall. Despite the backlash, the flood of explicit content hasn’t let up, turning the platform’s so-called town square into a chaotic arena. Amid this turmoil, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has entered the fray with sharp remarks aimed at senators pushing to remove X from Apple’s and Google’s app stores. Sweeney accused these lawmakers of using the controversy as a pretext to silence all their political opponents rather than genuinely addressing the platform’s issues. His comments add a new layer to the ongoing debate about content moderation, censorship, and the limits of political influence over tech companies.
