Not when the adult entertainment industry is in the mere billions.

I’m not sure that’s true. Onlyfans did $7.6 billion in 2025. The digital side of the adult industry looks like it’s worth something like $100 billion. Obviously the market is scattered across a whole load of participants, but it’s entirely plausible that Grok could either take a meaningful chunk of that or indeed create an entirely new adult revenue category based exactly on offering things that people apparently want but skirt the edges of legality.

That’s pretty disgusting to my mind, but I guess Elon needs to sustain his valuation somehow.
