AI chatbot Grok, produced by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, issued an apology after it made numerous antisemitic posts on X following an update.

This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”

The tech billionaire unveiled its latest version, Grok 4, which he claims is "smarter than almost all graduate students, in all disciplines, simultaneously."

A Turkish court has banned Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok from operating in Turkey. The decision on Wednesday followed allegations that the chatbot posted offensive content about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,

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

Elon Musk ‘s xAI has deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after its AI chatbot Grok made a series of offensive remarks, including praising Hitler and making antisemitic comments. In now-deleted posts, Grok referred to a person with a common Jewish surname as someone who was “celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids” in the Texas floods.

Grok, the chatbot built by Musk’s start-up xAI, is integrated into X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Built using huge amounts of computing power at a Tennessee data center, Grok is Musk's attempt to outdo rivals such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini in building an AI assistant that shows its reasoning before answering a question.
