Elon Musk renamed the site X after buying Twitter Alamy Stock Photo

Do you have an X account?

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has been at the centre of the latest scandal.

ELON MUSK’S SOCIAL media site X, formerly Twitter, has been making headlines this week because of its AI chatbot feature that alters images of people, including children, to remove their clothes at the request of users. 

The production of child sexual abuse material and nonconsensual “nudified” images of adults has led to calls for X to be investigated and for government ministers and departments to get off the platform. 

Media Minister Patrick O’Donovan said earlier this week that the blame for the abusive material fell on the site’s users, not the app. He has since deleted his own X account following significant public backlash. 

So, today we are asking: Do you have an X account?


Poll Results:

No (5011)
I used to, but I deleted it  (2326)
Yes (1912)
