Elon Musk ‘s xAI has deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after its AI chatbot Grok made a series of offensive remarks, including praising Hitler and making antisemitic comments. In now-deleted posts, Grok referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods.

Policy researcher and former Democratic candidate Will Stancil has threatened to sue after he was targeted with graphic rape scenes written by Grok.

Grok, the artificial-intelligence chatbot produced by Elon Musk -owned xAI, this week began posting antisemitic messages in response to user queries, drawing condemnation from Jewish advocacy groups and raising concern about the AI tool. The antisemitic posts -- some of which have been deleted -- are being addressed, Musk said on Wednesday.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is taking down antisemitic comments and other “inappropriate posts” made by its Grok chatbot, including some praising Adolf Hitler.

Grok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s AI firm xAI, is doing rather less chatting after making comments referring to itself as MechaHitler and making racist statements.

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.”

Linda Yaccarino has announced she is stepping down as CEO of X, one day after the platform was forced to take action to stop its chatbot Grok from praising Hitler and amplifying harmful antisemitic stereotypes.

In 1995, Musk was accepted into Stanford University's graduate program in Materials Science, but he chose not to enroll.
