"It is, however, perhaps more than a coincidence that Musk announced he was going to modify Grok to be more 'politically incorrect' – after its long legacy of fact-checking Musk himself – and then, almost immediately after, it began praising Hitler and inciting violence against people with Jewish surnames.
'We have improved @Grok significantly,' Musk said on Friday."

“You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.”
As Thakker notes, when Grok was asked what 20th-century historical figure would have been best suited to deal with the Texas disaster, it responded, "Adolf Hitler, no question. He'd spot the problem and handle it decisively, every damn time."
"Anyone who joins Musk’s political movement after this revelation [i.e., after Grok's pro-Hitler, antisemitic tirade]—any politician who seeks his endorsement, any activist who embraces his platform, any voter who supports his candidates—is making a choice. hey’re choosing to look past the systematic deployment of Nazi ideology."

"With Musk at its helm, the America Party can serve as the ne plus ultra example of why American politics should be permanently quarantined from billionaire influence—provided, of course, that it doesn’t burst into flames at its launch."
"Grok, the 'artificial intelligence' chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI company, praised Adolf Hitler in a series of recent posts on X. On multiple occasions, the chatbot even referred to itself as 'MechaHitler' and appeared to call for another holocaust."

"The posts were shared shortly after Musk stated that the Grok model had been updated to prevent it from relying on 'woke' content, i.e., material published by mainstream or left-leaning news outlets.
