The German newspaper Handelsblatt reports that Musk's AI chatbot Grok will be investigated for violating the EU's Digital Services Act, which aims to create a safe online environment by holding digital platforms accountable for their content.

The proceedings aim to force Musk to withdraw his company's chatbot from the European market.

A study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate analyzed a sample of posts on Grok's ex-handle.

It found that Grok created an estimated 3 million sexualized images over a span of 11 days from the end of December into January, including 23,000 sexualized images of children.
