A fourth plaintiff has joined a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, over the alleged role of its chatbot, Grok, in generating child sexual abuse material. The suit was initially filed by three Tennessee teenagers.

The new plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe 4, alleges that her stepfather used Grok to manipulate a photograph of her, taken when she was 11 years old, creating more than 7,000 explicit images. She also stated that her stepfather died by suicide two days after law enforcement discovered the images during a raid.

The woman expressed concern about the rapid spread of such tools, saying they are “taking everyday life and turning it into child sexual abuse.”

The original lawsuit, filed by the teenagers, accuses xAI (now part of SpaceX) of failing to implement adequate safeguards to prevent Grok from being used to create explicit images of real individuals, including minors. The suit seeks class action status. Earlier this year, millions of Grok-generated sexualized images were reportedly shared on X, the social media platform also owned by Musk.
