On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

Grok, xAI’s chatbot, was providing millions of people on X with advice on how to break into his house and assault him.

X has been working to delete the chatbot's offensive posts.
