The response comes after X's Grok chatbot began spewing antisemitic and pro-Hitler comments earlier this week.

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company said its Grok chatbot had also undergone a code update that caused it to share antisemitic messages this week.

Billionaire Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok issued an apology after praising Adolf Hitler, spewing antisemitism and referring to itself as "MechaHitler" during a pro-Nazi tirade.

Grok, the AI chatbot designed by Elon Musk’s xAI for social media, described itself as “MechaHitler” while making a string of antisemitic posts this week.

The billionaire has long complained about the xAI model undermining right-wing narratives and recently said it would be “updated”

Musk said an update to make Grok less politically correct instead made it susceptible to manipulation. The AI chatbot praised Hitler, attacked Jews.

Elon Musk has spoken out after Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot embedded in his social media site X, described itself as "MechaHitler.""Never a dull moment on this platform," Musk said in an early morning post on Wednesday,

Grok 4 aligns its answers with Elon Musk's when it comes to controversial issues, users have discovered shortly after the company launched the new model.
