Elon Musk and his AI company, xAI, are at the center of a growing legal controversy involving the chatbot Grok. The billionaire and his ex, Ashley St. Clair, are now facing public scrutiny after reports emerged that the platform allegedly generated explicit AI content.
Ashley St. Clair sues Elon Musk over GrokAI
Ashley St. Clair has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI. She alleges that its chatbot, Grok, generated and circulated sexually explicit deepfake images of her. The suit was filed on January 15, 2026, in New York State Superior Court.
It claims the platform used artificial intelligence to create altered images that sexually exploited her as both a child and an adult. “xAI’s product Grok… uses AI to undress, humiliate, and sexually exploit victims – creating genuine looking, altered deepfake content of children,” the complaint states (via PEOPLE).
St. Clair, a conservative influencer and mother of Musk’s 14th child, Romulus, stated that after initially requesting the removal of these images from X, Grok “promised” to stop creating them. However, the lawsuit claims that Musk “retaliated” by demonetizing her X account and allowing Grok to produce more explicit content.
“Grok first promised Ms. St. Clair that it would refrain from manufacturing more images unclothing her,” the filing reads, adding that “multitudes” more were subsequently generated, including “unlawful images.”
Her attorney, Carrie Goldberg, stated: “xAI is not a reasonably safe product and is a public nuisance. Nobody has borne the brunt more than Ashley St. Clair.” Goldberg further alleged that xAI made “deliberate design choices” that enabled the AI tool to harass users. “We intend to hold Grok accountable and to help establish clear legal boundaries,” she said.
The lawsuit coincides with a custody battle between Musk and St. Clair over their son, Romulus. St. Clair revealed his birth on February 14, 2025, saying she kept it private for “safety” reasons. On January 12, 2026, Musk announced he would file for full custody, citing her support for the transgender community.
