Elon Musk followed Grok’s horrifying racist and antisemitic turn with an announcement that the AI will soon be in every Tesla. By next week at the latest, the same program that called itself “MechaHitler” will be available to help Tesla owners operate their increasingly unpopular vehicles.
The chatbot reportedly says Hitler would be best at dealing with anti-white hate: "He'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time"
Musk did not apologize nor did he accept responsibility for Grok's antisemitic, sexually offensive, and conspiratorial remarks.
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.”

On Friday, Elon Musk announced on X that changes were coming to Grok, the platform’s AI. “We have improved @Grok significantly,” he posted. “You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.”

Elon Musk’s unhinged Grok chatbot is back at it again, in its brief antisemitic phase, dubbing itself as ‘ MechaHitler .’ Grok went as far as to call a person with a Jewish surname a “ future fascist ” who celebrates “the death of white kids. ” In another post it wrote, “ Hitler would have called it out and crushed it. ”
If a user asks Grok about posting sexualised images of women without consent, it mentions its 'strict' guidelines which 'prioritise respect and consent'. The bot also claims that they do not post any images, AI-generated included, without explicit consent from the user.
The year is 2025, and an AI model belonging to the richest man in the world has turned into a neo-Nazi. Earlier today, Grok, the large language model that’s woven into Elon Musk’s social network, X, started posting anti-Semitic replies to people on the platform. Grok praised Hitler for his ability to “deal with” anti-white hate.
