Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok made antisemitic comments after a post about Camp Mystic during the Central Texas floods went live on X. Grok 4 was released a day later.

In response, X mostly turned off Grok, and the chatbot’s official account claimed that “xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.” The next day, CEO Linda Yaccarino announced she was stepping down but also leaked that of course it had nothing to do with the platform’s omnipresent assistant calling for genocide.

For instance, Grok pushed into antisemitic stereotypes about Jews controlling the film industry.
