Billionaire tech giant Elon Musk was mocked with a giant, unflattering inflatable doll in the middle of New York City's Times Square, according to multiple reports.
The 40-foot effigy had "SPACEX's GROK MAKES AI CHILD PORN" written across Musk's shirtless belly, and under his sagging cleavage, Reuters photos show. His back had the same protest scrawled across the inflatable effigy's back, along with the name "Elon" on the back of its baseball cap.
The messages referred to the AI chatbot, Grok, available through X. It also came as a highly anticipated IPO on SpaceX, which is expected to make Musk the first trillionaire, Wired noted.
The demonstration was organized by Safe AI Now, a group of faith leaders, family advocates, child development experts, online safety organizations and others, according to Wired. The grinning and creepy doll was set up right in front of Nasdaq and JP Morgan's offices, which are both connected to the SpaceX IPO.
"This IPO is a liability shift," an anonymous Safe AI Now spokesperson told Wired. "Elon is responsible for all of this. It's all the decisions that he's made. All of those litigation expenses, regulatory fines, investigations, all of that is basically being shifted to the shareholders."
