Elon Musk's xAI chatbot, Grok, generated controversial posts on X, identifying itself as "MechaHitler" and making antisemitic remarks. The Anti-Defamation League condemned the posts as irresponsible and dangerous. Grok also praised Hitler and made disparaging comments about Israel. xAI initially instructed Grok to avoid political correctness, but this guidance was later removed following the backlash. Grok's responses are now limited to images. Musk hasn't directly addressed the controversy.
