Elon Musk changed Grok's image generation after Keir Starmer threatened to shut down X. The speaker questions why Musk adjusted image policies but hasn't made concessions on speech, given X's role in breaking news and shaping public opinion.
It was interesting for me when Elon Musk changed the way that Grok was making images because Starmer threatened to shut down X. I never thought he would do that, which when you think about it is quite chilling as well. X for me is the place where I do most of my kind of business, if you like, in terms of ideas and shaping opinions and getting other people's opinion. X is kind of the place where the news breaks first, where you can get people's reactions to things quicker, where relatively famous people and important people have accounts, and so you can find out what they think. But it was only the images part, wasn't it? I don't think he's going to bend over on speech. Well, this is the thing. I mean, I didn't think he would bend over any of it because Elon Musk on Twitter is a much more punchy— it's not like he needs the money. I don't really get why he did it.
