# U.S. Senators demand Google and Apple to remove Musk's X and Grok apps

> Three Democratic senators in the United States are calling on Apple and Google to remove the X and Grok apps, demanding that these applications be taken down immediately before Elon Musk prohibits users from using these platforms to disseminate non-consensual explicit images and child sexual abuse content. In an open letter to the CEOs of the two tech giants, they stated that these activities are disturbing and potentially illegal

Three Democratic senators in the United States are calling on Apple and Google to remove the X and Grok apps from their app stores, at least until their owner Elon Musk prohibits users from using these platforms to create and disseminate non-consensual explicit images and content depicting child sexual abuse. In an open letter sent on Friday to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Senators Ron Wyden from Oregon, Ed Markey from Massachusetts, and Ben Ray Luján from New Mexico stated that the two tech giants should "immediately remove the X and Grok apps from the app stores until the company's CEO Elon Musk addresses these disturbing and potentially illegal activities."
