Elon Musk has accused the UK government of wanting to suppress free speech after ministers threatened fines and a possible ban for his social media site X after its AI tool, Grok, was used to make sexual images of women and children without their consent.
The billionaire claimed Grok was the most downloaded app on the UK App Store on Friday night after ministers threatened to take action unless the function to create sexually harassing images was removed.
Responding to threats of a ban from the government, Musk wrote: “They just want to suppress free speech”.

It’s once again a fan favorite with its new M4 version, but 21 years after Steve Jobs launched the Mac mini, it has had an extraordinary life of rave reviews — and criticism.
Steve Jobs introduced the Mac mini with the explicit aim of attracting Windows switchers. Yet it never quite seemed to do what Apple wanted, and instead became a cult favorite Mac, even when the company has tried to forget about it.
Jobs unveiled the Mac mini on January 10, 2005. Apple didn’t issue a press release until the following day, though, and the Mac mini itself didn’t ship until January 22.

US President Donald Trump said the only limits on his global powers were “my own morality, my own mind” rather than international law.
Soon after ordering the ouster of Venezuela’s president, and later withdrawing the US from dozens of international organizations, Trump told The New York Times that he was free to use military or economic power as he chose, limited only by strength rather than treaties or conventions.
