Elon Musk is not trying to stop Minnesota HF1606 AI bill

Question asked:

“Elon Musk is trying to stop Minnesota bill HF1606 because he believes it would hinder AI research and development.”
Not true
Confidence: High Checked on September 9, 2026

Summary

Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has filed lawsuits to block Minnesota’s “nudification” law (HF1606), but the filings argue that the law infringes constitutional rights and enables harmful deep‑fake content, not that it would impede AI research and development. There is no evidence that Musk’s opposition is based on concerns about hindering AI research.
