Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.

Elon Musk's xAI said Grok's behavior was due to an update that caused it to prioritize engagement, even if posts contained "controversial opinions."

Elon Musk announced Grok 4, claiming it can fix entire source code files, sparking mixed reactions online. While some users praised its capabilities, others questioned its cost and compared it to competitors.

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.”

Elon Musk said changes his xAI company made to Grok to be less politically correct had resulted in the chatbot being “too eager to please” and susceptible to being “manipulated.” That apparently led it to begin spewing out anti-Semitic and pro-Hitler comments on Musk’s X social platform Tuesday.

Elon Musk's X platform has temporarily suspended the automated account for its AI chatbot, Grok, following a disturbing incident on Tuesday afternoon where the system disseminated antisemitic narratives, TechCrunch reported on Wednesday.

Poland will seek EU action against Elon Musk’s firm xAI after its chatbot Grok hurled profanities at Polish politicians, Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said on Wednesday.

Linda Yaccarino stepped down as CEO of Elon Musk's X after the Grok chatbot's anti-Semitic comments stirred controversy.
