Court filings indicate that xAI, a company under Musk's ownership, has submitted a formal request to the court, insisting that the four plaintiffs involved in the Grok deepfake pornography lawsuit proceed with the legal action using their actual names. Nevertheless, the plaintiffs express apprehension that revealing their identities could heighten the likelihood of harassment and intensify the personal damages outlined in their affidavits. Presently, the plaintiffs are listed under pseudonyms, like Doe from South Carolina. Although they are willing to disclose their real names to xAI, they prefer to maintain the use of pseudonyms in public court records.

xAI's legal representatives contend that civil litigation typically necessitates the unambiguous identification of the parties involved and that the public is entitled to know the individuals being sued. They also highlight that the plaintiffs have failed to provide evidence of concrete threats and that the contentious images have been placed under seal. Conversely, the plaintiffs have furnished written affidavits detailing their psychological suffering and have hinted at the possibility of withdrawing the lawsuit if compelled to use their real names. Pertinent court documents reveal that the contentious images were excluded from the publicly accessible trial records.
