Elon Musk's xAI launched its chatbot in 2023 as an alternative to other "woke" bots. Here's what you need to know about Grok.

Correspondent Ronny Chieng clowned the billionaire after his artificial intelligence chatbot went "full Nazi" on him.

Elon Musk's X has taken the automated account for Grok, its AI chatbot, offline after it spent Tuesday afternoon pushing antisemitic narratives.

Elon Musk’s live demo of Grok 4, the latest big-ticket model from his AI startup, began with high-intensity music, claims of a “ludicrous rate of progress,” and a lot of chatter on X about Grok’s scandal-filled week.

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

The Writers Guild of America is leaving X, the ubiquitous social media platform owned by Tesla founder Elon Musk.

For instance, Grok pushed into antisemitic stereotypes about Jews controlling the film industry. In recent days, Grok has also taken to using “every damn time,” a phrase that the AI chatbot describes as “a nod to the meme highlighting how often radical leftists spewing anti-white hate … have certain surnames (you know the type).”
