Elon Musk’s AI Bot Focuses on Male Fantasy Images

Musk’s AI Fantasies For Male Audiences

In early August 2025, Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to promote Grok Imagine, the image-and-video generation feature of xAI’s Grok chatbot. Instead of technical demos or sci-fi concepts, Musk’s feed filled with highly sexualized AI creations – from leather-clad dominatrices to bikini-clad beach models. The choice isn’t random: it directly appeals to his most devoted male followers.

Sex Sells: The Manosphere Appeal

Musk’s selection aligns with the online manosphere, where sexualized imagery and fantasy dominance carry cultural currency. Over the span of a week, his posts showcased masked kunoichi warriors, fantasy princesses, BDSM-coded chess mistresses, and sensual mirror selfies. Each image leans on familiar male-gaze tropes, signaling that Grok Imagine is designed—intentionally or not—to cater to a predominantly male audience.

Ethics and Bias in AI-Generated Imagery

This wave of sexualized AI art underscores broader concerns about bias in generative models. When creators and promoters favor one viewpoint, the output can reinforce stereotypes and narrow representation. As AI image tools proliferate, brands and content platforms face growing pressure to ensure these systems reflect diverse perspectives rather than perpetuate the biases of their backers.

Best Practices for Responsible Image AI

• Audit training datasets for representational gaps and overexposed tropes.
• Implement bias-detection tools in your pipeline to flag one-sided imagery.
• Establish governance frameworks and content guidelines for balanced representation.
