The European Commission will initiate formal proceedings against Elon Musk's AI company xAI over its Grok chatbot under the Digital Services Act on Monday, January 26, 2026, according to a Handelsblatt report. The action could force the withdrawal of the service from the EU market. The German newspaper cited three high-ranking EU officials. The move represents an escalation of regulatory scrutiny under the bloc's stringent digital rules, targeting the AI tool's compliance.
