The direct trigger for Apple's rule revision this time was X platform users using Grok to generate non-consensual, sexual deepfake images, some of which involved minors, which sparked sharp criticism of Apple.
Apple ultimately did not remove X or Grok from the App Store, but responded by tightening its review rules.
Elon Musk reposted the X-Subscription news on X, and the post surpassed 4.5 million views in less than a day.
Platform X launched an integrated subscription package called X-Subscription that bundles Grok, GrokBot, Cursor and X Premium into the same plan.
Grok is a large language model chat assistant developed by xAI, positioned similarly to ChatGPT, accessible via the X platform or a standalone app, and divided into a standard version and higher-privilege tiers such as Super Grok.
The X Premium subscription price is $8/month and bundles access to the Grok model and the Cursor coding assistant.
XAI's 'call for help' page still has a description entry (referring to the settings entry on the X platform), and the current course editing and work help have been updated, but this cannot be used to infer that the description setting for team Bots must also have been removed.
The Grokbot usage workflow involves installing Grokbot, adding a template creator bot and connecting to the template's Grokbot MCP server, then entering natural language instructions to automatically find and install relevant agents.
