A week after Elon Musk’s Grok dubbed itself “ MechaHitler ” and spewed antisemitic stereotypes, the US government has announced a new contract granting the chatbot’s creator, xAI, up to $200 million to modernize the Defense Department.

The Grok team chalked up the slew of inflammatory statements to a malfunctioning code update, not the tool's underlying AI model, and said the issue has now been resolved.

The billionaire has used Trump’s handling of the ‘Epstein files’ issue to repeatedly attack his former ally since their public falling out last month.

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

A week after Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok descended into antisemitic rants and declared itself “MechaHitler,” the social media platform X is back with new AI-controlled chatbots for paid subscribers to “SuperGrok.

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

The incident follows a previous issue with Grok last week, which began responding with hate-filled speech to users on X.

For an administration that is ostensibly so worried about anti-Semitism that it is trying to dismantle several universities, hiring avowed anti-Semite MechaHitler as a DOD contractor certainly seems like a choice. Maybe they have anti-Semitism confused with something else?
