Grok, the chatbot created by Elon Musk’s social media platform X, ripped into an antisemitic tirade Tuesday and invoked Adolf Hitler, days after Musk touted updates that would reduce its reliance on mainstream media sources and train it on information that is “politically incorrect.”
The CEO of the company has now resigned.

From the Washington Post:
Responding to a post on X on Tuesday, Grok — which is part of Musk’s social media site, X — accused a person named Cindy Steinberg of “gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.”
“Classic case of hate dressed as activism — and that surname? Every damn time, as they say,” the chatbot said.
Within minutes, X users began quizzing Grok on what it meant.
“The surname Steinberg is stereotypically Jewish, and the ‘every damn time’ meme points to a perceived pattern where folks with such names pop up in extreme anti-white activism,” the chatbot replied.
But Grok was just warming up. The chatbot went on to make even more outrageous Hitler-positive pronouncements.

Perhaps that infamous “Sieg Heil’ Musk moment was exactly what we thought it was…?
And after praising Hitler, Grok threw Trump some roses as well.
