Elon Musk said changes his xAI company made to Grok to be less politically correct had resulted in the chatbot being “too eager to please” and susceptible to being “manipulated.” That apparently led it to begin spewing out anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler comments on Musk’s X social platform Tuesday.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company said Wednesday that it’s taking down “inappropriate posts” made by its Grok chatbot, which appeared to include antisemitic comments that praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was updated over the weekend with instructions to “assume subjective viewpoints sourced from the media are biased” and “not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect” — part of Musk’s ongoing attempt to shape the bot’s point of view.

Elon Musk's new AI chatbot, Grok 4, is raising eyebrows for its unusual behavior. The chatbot, released Wednesday by Musk's company xAI, sometimes searches Musk's views online before answering questions.
