Elon Musk announced this weekend that his team at xAI made improvements to their AI chatbot Grok. Days later, Grok has already gone on several blatantly antisemitic tirades.

AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”

But after the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s start-up xAI ranted for hours about a second Holocaust and spread conspiracy theories about Jewish people, the company responded by deleting some of the troubling posts and sharing a statement suggesting the chatbot just needed some algorithmic tweaks.

The team behind Grok has issued a rare apology and explanation of what went wrong after X's chatbot began spewing antisemitic and pro-Nazi rhetoric earlier this week, at one point even calling itself "MechaHitler.

As Grok fired off replies on X praising Hitler, the chatbot's parent company also recently got permission to emit 97 tons of carbon monoxide per year to keep it running.

Poland's Deputy PM Krzysztof Gawkowski calls on the European Commission to investigate Elon Musk’s chatbot over hate speech violations and threats to public safety.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok made antisemitic comments after a post about Camp Mystic during the Central Texas floods went live on X. Grok 4 was released a day later.
