Musk’s AI firm has tried to position Grok as a more explicit platform, last year introducing “Spicy Mode,” which allows partial adult nudity and sexually suggestive content. It does not allow pornography including real people’s likenesses or sexual content involving minors.

The company – which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp – also recently strengthened its teen safety policies.
