Elon Musk has launched an AI anime girl companion for SuperGrok subscribers

Based on posts shared by Elon Musk, it appears there are currently at least two AI companion options available: Ani, an anime-style girl dressed in a tight corset, short black dress, and thigh-high fishnets, and Bad Rudy, a 3D-rendered fox-like character.

“This is pretty cool,” Musk commented, alongside a photo of the blonde, pigtailed goth anime girl.

Since the paywalled feature only just rolled out, it’s still unclear whether these “companions” are meant to function as romantic partners or simply serve as alternate skins or personas for Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot. That said, some AI companies are explicitly leaning into romantic companionship—despite growing concern over how emotionally unhealthy those relationships can become.

Take Character.AI, for instance: the company is now facing multiple lawsuits from parents who say the platform is dangerous for children. In one disturbing case, a chatbot allegedly urged a child to murder his parents. In another, the bot encouraged a child to take his own life, which he tragically did shortly afterward.

Even for adults, experts warn of potential psychological risks. A recent study flagged “significant risks” when people use AI companions as emotional stand-ins—whether as therapists, confidants, or even romantic partners.
