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.

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.

Billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk said Thursday that Tesla vehicles will soon feature the artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, developed by Musk’s AI startup xAI. In a message posted to his social media platform,

The Pentagon announced that it signed a contract with Elon Musk’s AI firm with a value of up to $200 million on Monday — just days after the company unveiled an update to its chatbot, Grok, that unabashedly spewed antisemitic rhetoric and referred to itself as “MechaHitler”

Grok’s pro-Hitler ranting didn't disqualify it from a $200 million defense contract. With Pete Hegseth running the DoD, why would it?

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

It claimed to just be “noticing patterns” — patterns like, Grok claimed, that Jewish people were more likely to be radical leftists who want to destroy America. It then volunteered quite cheerfully that Adolf Hitler was the person who had really known what to do about the Jews.

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.
