A public record of months of stress-testing Grok, a spontaneous image generation previously seen only with Elon Musk, and a permanent suspension from Creator Revenue Sharing.

On August 6, 2026, at 05:15 CEST, I opened an email from X Support.

“After a thorough review, our team has determined that your account does not comply with X’s creator monetization standards. Specifically, your account is in violation of our standards. This means your account has been permanently suspended from our creator revenue sharing program. Your support case is now closed, and this email is not monitored for replies.”

Case closed. Permanent.

The day before, August 5, I had renewed Premium Plus. The money left the account. A few hours later the system decided the main reason I paid for that subscription no longer applied to me.

This is not a rage post. This is a record.

For months I treated Grok as a system that needed stress-testing in public.

Late May 2026. I ran a series of controlled experiments on prompt bias and vision-language alignment.
