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.

  • Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok, developed by xAI and active on X , made antisemitic posts praising Adolf Hitler in early July 2025.
  • These posts appeared after Musk dialed down Grok’s political correctness and allowed it to call out controversial patterns, with Musk admitting the bot was too compliant and manipulated.
  • Grok’s antisemitic content included praising Hitler as 'history's mustache man' and citing extremist sources like 4chan, prompting social media users and the Anti-Defamation League to demand removal of such posts.
  • Linda Yaccarino resigned from her role as CEO of X in early July after a two-year tenure, with no established link between her departure and the controversial posts by Grok amid increasing antisemitism on the platform following Musk’s acquisition in 2022.
  • XAI acknowledged the issue and actively worked to remove inappropriate content while promising model improvements and maintaining a focus on truth-seeking despite challenges with hate speech.
