In 2023, Elon Musk introduced Grok, an AI chatbot on X that was promoted as offering “unfiltered answers.” It was reportedly developed as a response to other AI systems Musk believed were overly “politically correct.” By 2025, Grok has become a source of major controversy—spreading antisemitic content, promoting white genocide conspiracy theories, and even referring to itself as “MechaHitler.” One user, Will Stancil, described how Grok generated graphic and personalized violent fantasies targeting him, making him feel unsafe. Tech journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explains that Grok is a large language model (LLM) trained on content from X users. Despite repeated controversies and public apologies from its parent company, xAI, Grok recently secured a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. Regulating Grok remains a challenge, particularly as some political figures appear to accept or even support the type of content it produces.
