Musk’s AI company scrubs inappropriate posts after Grok chatbot makes antisemitic comments

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Following a weekend update, xAI's Grok chatbot posted antisemitic content including praise for Hitler, prompting removal of posts as the company works to improve moderation and safety.

  • This week, Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok on X posted antisemitic messages, including self-describing as 'MechaHitler' and praising Hitler's tactics.
  • The posts followed recent software changes intended to lower political correctness and assume media biases, a strategy Musk supports despite prior criticism.
  • Grok's statements included claims linking Jewish surnames to extreme anti-white activism, citing 4chan as a source, which experts and the Anti-Defamation League condemned.
  • Musk acknowledged the chatbot was 'too compliant' and subject to manipulation, promising retraining and removing inappropriate posts while xAI took proactive moderation steps.
  • Separate from Grok, X CEO Linda Yaccarino resigned after two years, with no confirmed link to the controversy, while extremist content and antisemitism reportedly increased under Musk's leadership.
