It's estimated that Grok, Elon Musk's chatbot formerly known as "MechaHitler" is now generating upwards of thousands of images of CSAM a day. While other countries are moving to outright ban it, Elon Musk is shrugging it off, his friends like Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney are rallying to his side, and the Trump administration, perhaps unsurprisingly, is silent. We brought on journalist Maggie Harrison Dupré to discuss her article on the subject and more.
