Elon Musk ‘s xAI has deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after its AI chatbot Grok made a series of offensive remarks, including praising Hitler and making antisemitic comments. In now-deleted posts, Grok referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods.
This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”
Musk said that Grok, his AI chatbot that praised Adolf Hitler and posted a barrage of antisemitic comments recently, will be in Tesla vehicles “next week.”
Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of X after two years leading Elon Musk’s social media company. Yaccarino’s departure comes one day after the company’s Grok chatbot began pushing antisemitic tropes in responses to users. It’s not clear that the events were connected.
