Elon Musk’s new no-holds-barred generative AI program Grok is flooding social
media with absolutely wild pics and videos of former President Donald Trump and
Vice President Kamala Harris in outlandish situations.
The most viral so far is a clip — created with the help of Grok by AI video
artists the Dor Brothers — that begins with Donald Trump in an orange sweater,
armed with a handgun, robbing a convenience store. A moment later Kamala Harris
in a bright pink pantsuit sticks up the same shop with an AR-15.
Then comes Elon Musk with a pistol of his own, Mark Zuckerberg with a baseball
bat and an iguana on his shoulder, Joe Biden in a wheelchair with a gat and then
Barack Obama with a big knife. Pope Francis is there too. Each of them sticks up
the same shop and then gets hailed away by the cops.

Scores of other images created by following user prompts show politicians taking
hard drugs, flying planes into the Twin Towers or carrying out acts of bloody
violence.

The images are clearly a fake — for now.
But in just over a week since Musk released the latest and most capable version
of his AI generator — which he billed as “the most fun AI in the world!” in a
post on X.
It’s also widely available: Anyone who pays to use X can access Grok and images
are generated directly within the service with simple prompts.

situations in the AI-generated images. X/ @ LuffyMMA23
And though the platform bars nudity and explicit content, many images
nevertheless are sexually suggestive and degrading — with most of those being
targeted at Harris, who is generally depicted in revealing outfits.
But not all are so salacious.
A surprising proliferation of content shows Trump and Harris not just getting
along — but being deeply in love and sharing a happy family.

What do you think? Post a comment.
Videos of the presidential opponents tenderly kissing, strolling hand-in-hand on
a sunset beach, canoodling babies together, or rubbing Harris’ pregnant belly,
turn up almost as frequently across X as the scenes of violence, depravity, and
animosity between the two.
Some even manage to blend both the harmony and the chaos.
A series of images produced by X user “Luffy” show Trump and Biden smiling and
playing the guitar together — and also laughing over loads of hard drugs and
heavy weapons in their arms.
