Despite Elon Musk’s reputation for influencing technology policy, a federal judge rejected xAI’s request to halt Minnesota’s AI "nudification" ban, allowing the law to remain in effect.\n\nReuters reported the decision alongside Bloomberg Law, Star Tribune, MPR News, EyeWitness News and Politico, all noting that the judge’s order leaves the ban in place while the case proceeds. The coverage underscores that the court’s ruling applies to the state’s anti‑deepfake legislation without granting a preliminary injunction to xAI.\n\nThe ban now continues to govern AI‑generated nudity in Minnesota, and xAI must comply while any further appeals or legal motions are pending.
