A social media platform owned by Elon Musk known for hosting the Grok AI assistant, which has generated widespread controversy over non-consensual sexualized imagery and content moderation policies. Podcasts discuss the platform as a venue where manipulated images spread, government narratives are contested, and high-profile figures conduct public exchanges, while also examining its regulatory challenges including EU fines and investigations into AI-generated illegal content. The platform serves as a focal point in discussions about algorithmic feeds, free speech absolutism, and the concentration of AI discourse in social media.
