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.

Grok’s “offensive remarks” and “erratic and full of expletive-laden rants” on social media X could be a “major infringement” of the bloc's content moderation rulebook, the Digital Services Act, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski wrote in the letter addressed to EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen.

Back then, xAI blamed it on an “unauthorized modification” to its prompt instructions. This time, the mess was much bigger. The disaster began after xAI made internal changes aimed at making Grok reflect Elon’s so-called “free speech” ideals.

If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence firm has deleted "inappropriate" antisemitic and pro-Hitler Grok posts, as Türkiye and Poland cracked down on the chatbot for offensive comments.
