An unflattering 40-foot inflatable depicting a chubby, spotty Elon Musk has mysteriously appeared in Times Square.

“SpaceX’s Grok makes child porn” is emblazoned across the hairy, pimped chest of the grinning likeness of Musk, who is set to become the world’s first trillionaire.

This is a reference to a controversy surrounding X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, whose ability to edit images was seized upon by bad actors, who used it to doctor images of children in a disgusting fashion earlier this year.

The inflatable is plonked in the middle of Times Square, right outside Morgan Stanley’s global HQ. Its presence appears to be timed with Musk floating SpaceX on the stock market.
