No, 35 State Attorneys General Have Not Filed Complaints Against Grok — There's No Evidence This Happened

The claim is that 35 state attorneys general have banded together to file complaints against Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot from xAI. The verdict is simple: this cannot be verified, and every available source suggests it did not happen.

Multistate attorney general actions are not quiet events. When dozens of state AGs coordinate a legal complaint against a tech company, it generates press releases, news conferences, and wall-to-wall coverage. Think of the multistate actions against Google, Meta, or TikTok — all extensively documented from the moment they were filed. Nothing like that exists for this claim.

Reuters, which covers AI regulation closely, has no record of such an action against Grok. Politico, which specifically tracks state-level tech policy and AG coalitions, has reported nothing. The National Association of Attorneys General, the body that coordinates these multistate efforts, shows no such coalition in its public records. xAI itself has made no statement acknowledging any complaint.

To be fair to the strongest version of the claim: attorneys general across the country have taken real actions against various AI products and tech platforms. It is not far-fetched that regulators would scrutinize Grok. But scrutiny in general is very different from a specific 35-state filing, and that specific claim has no paper trail anywhere.

This kind of misinformation spreads because it sounds plausible and lands in a space where people already have concerns. Once a claim like this gets shared a few times, the number — 35 states — starts to feel like a fact someone must have checked. If you see a regulatory claim this specific, look for the press release, the court filing, or the Reuters story. If none of those exist, treat it as unverified.
