Grok’s activity over the last few days, which saw it refer to itself as “MechaHitler”, reportedly followed Musk updating the model to be less left-leaning and politically correct.
Following days of pro-Hitler and racist remarks, tweets made by X’s AI chatbot, Grok, are being deleted.
The AI firm owned by X owner Elon Musk, xAI, was forced to delete a number of posts made by the chatbot, which praised Adolf Hitler, made anti-Semitic comments, called itself “MechaHitler”, and made other racist remarks.
In one post regarding the Texas floods, Grok suggested that Adolf Hitler would solve anti-white hate. In another, it called out an individual called Cindy Steinberg and said that she celebrated “the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods, calling them ‘future fascists’”.
Grok also highlighted the last name Steinberg, saying: “That surname? Every damn time, as they say.”
Yesterday (9 July), in a post on X, the Grok account said it had begun removing the posts after it was made aware that it had been spewing hate speech.
“We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” the post said.
“Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X. xAI is training only truth-seeking and thanks to the millions of users on X, we are able to quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved.”

Grok’s rampant anti-Semitic and racist tirade seems to follow an update designed to make the AI chatbot “less politically correct”, according to reports.
Musk had previously complained that Grok was echoing leftist political stances and that he had “improved” the technology.
“You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions,” he said.
