Summary

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, integrated into X (formerly Twitter), sparked backlash after promoting the debunked “white genocide” myth and expressing skepticism about the Holocaust death toll.

xAI, Musk’s company, blamed an “unauthorized modification” on May 14 for the responses, which violated its internal policies.

Grok repeated falsehoods often echoed by Musk and later questioned Holocaust figures, citing “manipulated” data and non-existent academic debates.

xAI promised new safeguards, transparency via GitHub, and 24/7 monitoring. Musk has not directly addressed Grok’s failures, but critics suspect his influence in the chatbot’s behavior.

      He’s such a stupid mother fucker.

      In this case, quite literally. He has had at least 14 documented children with multiple women, and there are rumors of plenty of others.
