Last week, two other xAI founders, Guodong Zhang and Zihang Dai, left the company. That led to Elon Musk saying that he would rebuild xAI. That said, what should you know about it?

As you should know by now, X and xAI's Grok got into a big controversy over the past few days. Investigations were launched a few days ago, and new research reveals that Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot generated an estimated 3 million sexually explicit images over 11 days, including around 23000 that appear to depict children, sparking global alarm over the misuse of generative AI technology.

With the recent Grok controversy going on, X and xAI recently announced a policy update to prevent Grok, their AI chatbot, from generating sexualized or explicit images of real people, including requests like placing individuals in bikinis or revealing clothing. The company stated that these restrictions would apply to all users, including those in jurisdictions where such content is prohibited.

In case you missed it, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has ordered a temporary restriction on access to Grok, the artificial intelligence tool developed by xAI, due to the repeated cases of misuse. The directive was issued and took effect on 11 January 2026, and it applies to all users in Malaysia as a preventive and proportionate measure while legal and regulatory processes are ongoing.

Recently, Elon Musk criticised Wikipedia on his own X platform. Then, he announced the launch of a new AI-driven encyclopedia called Grokipedia.

According to a recent report , xAI shared that Grok has 64 million monthly users today. So, what should you know about it?
