Not when the adult entertainment industry is in the mere billions.
I’m not sure that’s true. Onlyfans did $7.6 billion in 2025. The digital side of the adult industry looks like it’s worth something like $100 billion. Obviously the market is scattered across a whole load of participants, but it’s entirely plausible that Grok could either take a meaningful chunk of that or indeed create an entirely new adult revenue category based exactly on offering things that people apparently want but skirt the edges of legality.
That’s pretty disgusting to my mind, but I guess Elon needs to sustain his valuation somehow.

Non consensual adult content, at that.
Truly makes me wonder if xAI/Cursor will honour the spirit of enterprise agreements around data retention.

I highly doubt these figures. Grok is tightly integrated into twitter (sorry X.com) which had over 600 million DAU in 2025 and is probably much higher now. My guess is most of Grok's usage is actually "internal" and related to x.com.
Data centers in the sky to serve porn.

> It turns out that NSFW activities account for "well over half" of Grok's traffic, according to a new report in The Information that cites two former employees of the SpaceX-owned company.

This is worth $2.25 trillion?
