The War on X Has Started

Is this really about AI safety… or is it about control?

This episode kicks off with a breaking culture war flashpoint: AI-generated images, Grok, and a sudden political push to ban X across the UK, Canada, and Australia. What starts as outrage over “deepfake nudity” quickly spirals into something much bigger.

We break down why AI has been able to do this for years, why Grok suddenly became the villain, and why governments are targeting the platform, not the perpetrators. From Alex Jones-style deplatforming déjà vu to Community Notes humiliating politicians in real time, this feels less like public protection and more like a coordinated political strike.

We also dig into:

Why banning X before the next election would change everything

The quiet collapse of legacy media credibility

AI as a power grab, not a consumer tool

Why “safety” laws always seem to move in one direction

And how free speech dies, not with force, but with applause

This isn’t a defence of Elon Musk. It’s a warning about what happens when governments decide the conversation itself is the problem.

Welcome to the new battlefield.
