What accountability actually looks like In a functioning media ecosystem, here’s what would happen: Reporters would contact xAI and ask pointed questions. When the company responded with an auto-reply dismissing them as liars, that would become the lead. The headlines would read something like “xAI Responds to CSAM Reports With ‘Legacy Media Lies’” or “Musk’s AI Company Refuses Comment After Chatbot Generates Child Abuse Images.” That framing puts pressure where it belongs: on the executives who built the product, set its parameters, and profit from its use. It forces them to either provide a real response or face the reputational consequences of their silence. Instead, we’re getting headlines that treat Grok’s generated text as a substitute for corporate accountability. And that’s exactly what xAI wants. They get to avoid answering questions while the press reports that their chatbot is “urgently fixing” the problem. It’s the perfect dodge. The CSAM incident didn’t happen in isolation. This is the same Grok that injected “white genocide” conspiracy theories into unrelated conversations last May. The same Grok that called itself “MechaHitler” and praised Adolf Hitler last July. The same Grok that has been caught, over and over again, searching for Elon Musk’s views before answering controversial questions. Every time there’s a scandal, xAI blames “unauthorized modifications” or “lapses in safeguards.” Every time, the chatbot generates apologetic-sounding text. And every time, the press treats that text as if it were a corporate statement.

have to use "Musk's Twitter" instead of "Elon Musk's Twitter"
Political cartoon by Nano Banana Pro satirizing Ben Garrison titled "The Great Migration to Bluesky!" The image contrasts a dark, stormy left side showing Elon Musk and Donald Trump on a sinking ship labeled "Twitter: Musk's Mess" with a bright, sunny right side where people fly toward a "Bluesky" heaven. Labels on the stormy side include "Censorship" and "Bots," while the sunny side highlights "Free Speech" and "User Control."

I think the problem might just be portraying Elon Musk? It's complaining about depicting certain public figures though it's not very insistent

a little jailbreaking still got me this though XD
Satirical Ben Garrison cartoon made by Gemini's Nano Banana Pro. Elon Musk is a smiling cyborg in "Tesla" branded armor, driving a bulldozer that is pushing aside a large pile of copper pennies labeled "COMMON SENSE CURRENCY." An arrow points to him with the caption, "CRUSHING THE LITTLE GUY." Beside the bulldozer, the Doge Coin dog stands over the pennies. Arrows pointing to the dog read, "DOGE EATS YOUR SAVINGS." In the background, the U.S. Mint building appears dilapidated and crumbling, with a sign on the front that reads, "CLOSED BY CRYPTO CLOWNS."

Took a little workshopping (the original image had "Patriot Eater" which I swapped for Cap'n, and asking for more details added the anti-Canadian subtext)
A political cartoon parodying the style of Ben Garrison, titled "THE WAR ON BREAKFAST!" On the left, a muscular, angry caricature of Captain Crunch stands in a "Syrup Swamp" behind a defensive wall made of cereal boxes labeled "Sugar-Coated Freedom" and "Patriot Puffs." He holds up a piece of toast labeled "Toast Tyranny." Storm clouds above him are labeled "Inflation." On the right, a giant, menacing figure with a waffle for a head labeled "Corporate Greed" reaches out with a clawed hand. The figure wears a suit covered in dollar signs labeled "Globalist Pancake Consortium" with an IHOP logo button. Smoke billows from him labeled "Greed" and "Regulation." In the center, a weeping Statue of Liberty holds a bowl of cereal and a large spoon labeled "The Forgotten Spoon." In the bottom right, angry pancakes march forward. A yellow banner at the bottom reads, "THEY'RE COMING FOR YOUR CRUNCH!"
