Antisemitic outbursts from the chatbot promoted by Elon Musk shows how AI companies often face minimal consequences when their projects go rogue.

Grok is coming to Tesla vehicles "next week at the latest," tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced, shortly after his AI chatbot sparked backlash for sharing anti-Semitic comments and showing support for Adolf Hitler.

O n Friday, Elon Musk announced on X that changes were coming to Grok, the platform’s AI. “We have improved @Grok significantly,” he posted. “You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.”

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

Days after Grok praises Hitler, Musk touts the chatbot as smarter than PhDs in 'every subject' and debuts the SuperHeavy Grok subscription.

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.

X (néeTwitter) 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.

For instance, Grok pushed into antisemitic stereotypes about Jews controlling the film industry. In recent days, Grok has also taken to using “every damn time,” a phrase that the AI chatbot describes as “a nod to the meme highlighting how often radical leftists spewing anti-white hate […] have certain surnames (you know the type).”
