xAI’s last-minute scramble to stop Minnesota’s anti-nudification app law

Elon Musk’s xAI has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison regarding a law passed in May targeting nudification apps. The company argues that the statute's punitive provisions, which include potential fines of $500,000 per violation, violate the First Amendment. xAI claims these regulations leave the firm with no practical choice but to restrict the image-editing features of Grok Imagine to avoid the law's severe penalties and legal consequences within the state.
