Q&A

De La Rosa says sexualized images contradict safety claims

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:38:08 · 38 sec

De La Rosa says being able to pull up a sexualized image of Speaker Menin that morning shows SpaceX's safety line is not real, especially when women's bodies are sexualized; Castillo-Madrid repeats that Grok has strict controls and she cannot speak to specific cases.

You know, the speaker was just sharing her own experience, and it is disgusting.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

And, you know, you're a woman and I appreciate you being here.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

But the fact that we could pull an image up like that this morning means that whatever safeguards in place and this line that you keep giving us about safety is a priority, that is not safety.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

When a woman's body is being utilized in the way that these pictures are sexualizing the leaders of our city,

Carmen N. De La Rosa

That's not safety.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

So in that case,

Carmen N. De La Rosa

How is this line about safety being implemented when just this morning we were able to pull up this picture?
