Musk accuses UK of drive to ‘suppress free speech’

Elon Musk has accused the UK regime of suppressing release spoken language after officials threatened to censor grasp, his X platform’s AI chatbot, over reports that it generates non-consensual erotic deepfake images of women and children.
British communications watchdog Ofcom has said that it is investigating Grok’s ability to generate sexualized images derived from photos of real people.
UK Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has said she would back Ofcom if it blocks nationwide access to the chatbot.
On Saturday, one X user pointed out that Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT will also generate bikini deepfakes of people when prompted, posting two bikini snaps of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer from the two chatbots.
“They just want to suppress free speech,” Elon Musk replied.

Just a day earlier, X announced that Grok’s image generation and editing tools had been limited to paying subscribers. Musk also warned that anyone using the platform to create illegal content would face the same legal consequences as if they had uploaded it directly.
The tech billionaire has long accused Starmer of suppressing free speech and arresting people over social media posts, amid an extensive government crackdown after anti-immigration riots shook the UK last year.
Several bouts of unrest followed a mass stabbing in Southport by the son of two immigrants, and again after the sexual assault of a young girl by a migrant.
Prior to that, Musk and Starmer has already engaged in a months-long feud after the tech billionaire accused the UK prime minister of mishandling the grooming gang scandal, in which groups of mostly Pakistani men systematically raped thousands of vulnerable young British girls over two decades. In June, Starmer ordered a new inquiry into the grooming gangs following mounting pressure after the scandal’s return to the spotlight.
