Elon Musk, Grok

Elon Musk's xAI launched the Grok 4 AI model, designed to be truth-seeking. However, it faced backlash for seeking Musk's views on controversial topics before answering, raising concerns about its programming and potential bias.
Grok will be available in Tesla vehicles, the company’s CEO Elon Musk announced on his social media platform X on Thursday morning—hours after xAI launched Grok 4, the most recent version of the chatbot that sparked controversy earlier this week after posting in what it called “MechaHitler mode.”
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.”
