"Grok, the Artificial intelligence chatbot from Elon Musk’s xAI, recently gave itself a new name: MechaHitler. This came amid a spree of antisemitic comments by the chatbot on Musk’s X platform, including claiming that Hitler was the best person to deal with “anti-white hate” and repeatedly suggesting the political left is disproportionately populated by people whose names Grok perceives to be Jewish. In the following days, Grok has begun gaslighting users and denying that the incident has ever happened.

“We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” a statement posted on Grok’s official X account reads. It noted that “xAI is training only truth-seeking.”

This isn’t, however, the first time that AI chatbots have made antisemitic or racist remarks; in fact it’s just the latest example of a continuous pattern of AI-powered hateful output, based on training data consisting of social media slop. In fact, this specific incident isn’t even Grok’s first rodeo."

The Intercept · Grok Is the Latest in a Long Line of Chatbots To Go Full NaziBy Nikita Mazurov

A week after Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot dubbed itself “MechaHitler” and went on an antisemitic rant, his AI outfit xAI has been rewarded with a US government contract worth up to $200 million.

The deal, announced by the Pentagon’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, puts xAI alongside Anthropic, Google and OpenAI in developing agentic AI workflows for military missions.

Grok’s recent meltdown was triggered by internal tweaks.

2️⃣ #Musk ist nicht für Mittelmässigkeit bekannt. So hat das #KI-Modell #Grok seiner Firma #xAI sich als #MechaHitler und Retter der Menschheit aufgespielt. Aber ist weiterhin Daddy-hörig und fragt regelmässig Musk bzw. seine Tweets um Rat. Mit oft sehr erstaunlichen Antworten.

Es sollte also nicht überraschen, dass @msalathe Grok als die am wenigsten zuverlässige KI bezeichnet.

Trotzdem will das Pentagon jetzt Grokken. Für 200 Millionen. What can possibly go wrong?

the chatbot praised Hitler, suggested that people with Jewish surnames were more likely to spread online hate and said a Holocaust-like response to hatred against white people would be “effective.” It also referred to itself as “MechaHitler” and posted sexually explicit commentary. X deleted some of the posts on Tuesday evening.

On Wednesday, Mr. Musk unveiled the latest version of Grok, called Grok 4, in a livestream on X. The livestream, which began an hour later than scheduled, demonstrated the chatbot’s ability to solve complex problems and respond to voice commands. It ended after an employee onstage with Mr. Musk declared, “It’s a good model, sir.”
