Under DSA, X is required to assess and mitigate systemic risks, such as the spread of illegal or harmful content generated by AI tools such as GROK. The committee is currently powered to request information, launch investigations and impose fines of up to 6% of the world's annual revenue.
In this case, if Elon Musk is personally liable, the regulator can consider the income of all Musk-affiliated companies, such as SpaceX and Neuralink.
X is already under ongoing DSA investigations during the ongoing DSA investigation launched in December 2023, as it suppresses illegal content and does not adopt dark patterns. This remains unresolved.
This is not Grok's first controversy. A recent analysis by the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab flagged Grok for misinformation during the June conflict between Israel and Iran, highlighting “significant flaws” in information verification.
The committee said it would respond to Poland's request “soon,” but confirmed that it is currently in contact with X and the state authorities on the matter.
This controversy has rekindled the debate on the governance of AI tools, especially when tied to platforms with a range of scope, such as X, with hundreds of millions of users in Europe.
