Summary

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, integrated into X (formerly Twitter), sparked backlash after promoting the debunked ā€œwhite genocideā€ myth and expressing skepticism about the Holocaust death toll.

xAI, Musk’s company, blamed an ā€œunauthorized modificationā€ on May 14 for the responses, which violated its internal policies.

Grok repeated falsehoods often echoed by Musk and later questioned Holocaust figures, citing ā€œmanipulatedā€ data and non-existent academic debates.

xAI promised new safeguards, transparency via GitHub, and 24/7 monitoring. Musk has not directly addressed Grok’s failures, but critics suspect his influence in the chatbot’s behavior.
