Grok began repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler, using antisemitic phrases and attacking users with traditionally Jewish surnames.

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

Grok, xAI's chatbot, is integrating into Tesla vehicles soon, despite recent accusations of pro-Hitler and antisemitic responses on X.

France is investigating Elon Musk’s X and a member of parliament, Éric Bothorel, is criticizing Grok's content.
