California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on January 15, 2026 an investigation into whether Elon Musk’s X and xAI violated the law by enabling the spread of non-consensual naked or sexual images after xAI updated its Grok image-editing tool. The probe follows Bloomberg reporting that X users posted more such images than other sites, cites newly enacted AB 621, and could lead to prosecutions, fines, and app restrictions amid global regulatory backlash.
