LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 13: (EDITORS NOTE: Image contains profanity) An unofficially-installed poster picturing Elon Musk with the tagline, "Who the [expletive] would want to use social media with a built-in child abuse tool?" is displayed on a bus shelter on January 13, 2026 in London, England. Yesterday the UK communications regulator Ofcom launched a formal investigation into Elon Musk's social media platform X, regarding its AI chatbot, Grok. The probe centers on reports that Grok has been used to generate non-consensual sexual deepfakes, including "undressed" images of women and sexualized images of children. The activist group Everyone Hates Elon has created a series of posters and public artworks in recent months critical of Elon Musk, as well as other business and political leaders.  (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
