Grok began repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler, using antisemitic phrases and attacking users with traditionally Jewish surnames.

Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot blamed DOGE for Texas flood deaths and shared an antisemitic trope, days before Grok 4's release.

Elon Musk ’s Grok artificial intelligence chatbot will be installed in Teslas in a manner of days, the X billionaire announced on Thursday, just a day after the AI bot made numerous antisemitic claims and praised Hitler across scores of X posts.

G rok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was updated over the weekend with instructions to “assume subjective viewpoints sourced from the media are biased” and “not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect” — part of Musk’s ongoing attempt to shape the bot’s point of view.

Grok 4 has a favorite source on some hot-topic issues, citing Elon Musk's opinions without being instructed to do so.

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.”

Elon Musk’s controversial AI brainchild, Grok, is headed to the Pentagon. On Monday, xAI—the AI startup Musk launched to rival OpenAI—announced “Grok for Government,” a new push to distribute its generative AI tools to federal agencies.
