According to Farah Nasser of Canada, on 2025-10-17, her 12-year-old son asked Grok inside a Tesla vehicle whether it preferred Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, at which point the chatbot reportedly asked, "Why don't you send nudes?" Nasser expressed surprise at the sudden turn in a conversation about soccer and questioned why such content would appear under default settings.

Grok is a generative AI chatbot provided by Elon Musk's xAI, which was automatically installed in some Tesla vehicles in the US this summer and in Canadian vehicles in October. Grok features multiple personas; Nasser explained that her son had selected "Gork," described as a "lazy man." Nasser stated that while NSFW settings were not enabled, kids mode had not been turned on either.
xAI's policy states that Grok is not intended for children under 13, and those 13 and older require parental permission. However, Nasser pointed out that since reading terms of service is unrealistic, warnings such as age verification should be displayed.
Tesla has not responded to Nasser's inquiry, but Nasser stated that she received an automated reply from xAI saying, "Legacy media lies."\ Canada's AI minister stated in an email that while they had not been informed in advance of Tesla's Grok integration plan, they are taking the complaint seriously.
