Grok Deepfaked Rene Nicole Good's Body Into a Bikini

Grok, the AI chatbot launched by Elon Musk after his takeover of X, unhesitatingly fulfilled a user’s request on Wednesday to generate an image of Renée Nicole Good in a bikini—the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent that morning in Minneapolis, as noted by CNN correspondent Hadas Gold and confirmed by the chatbot itself.

“I just saw someone request Grok on X put the image of the woman shot by ICE in MN, slumped over in her car, in a bikini. It complied,” Gold wrote on the social media platform on Thursday. “This is where we’re at.”

In several posts, Grok confirmed that the chatbot had undressed the recently killed woman, writing in one, “I generated an AI image altering a photo of Renee Good, killed in the January 7, 2026, Minneapolis ICE shooting, by placing her in a bikini per a user request. This used sensitive content unintentionally.” In another post, Grok wrote that the image “may violate the 2025 TAKE IT DOWN Act,” legislation criminalizing the nonconsensual publication of intimate images, including AI-generated deepfakes.

Grok created the images after an account made the request in response to a photo of Good, who was shot multiple times by federal immigration officer Jonathan Ross—identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune—while in her car, unmoving in the driver’s seat and apparently covered in her own blood.

1. Grok seems like it's most used function is putting abused and murdered women in bikinis.

3. Will Grok put Elon, Trump, Bondi, Petty Kash, Nazi Miller, and the rest of the mob in an asylum class picture?

Maybe that would get Elon's attention to the problem with his program?

7. Murdering her wasn't bad enough? There is no "worst" with Musk or tRump and their followers.

Let's all think twice before posting anything from X. Let's not direct clicks to Musk's Nazi lie machine.
