But it would also, in the same breath, do things like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/the-byte\/elon-musk-grok-ai-woke\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acknowledging trans people exist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Clearly too woke!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musk has repeatedly vowed to correct these thought crimes, and so these recent episodes are far from the first time he&#8217;s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scolded his creation for daring to bring facts to the table and thereby <\/span><a style=\"cursor: pointer !important; user-select: none !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/maga-grok-ai\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ticking off his MAGA fanbase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In May, for example, Musk called Grok&#8217;s behavior &#8220;embarrassing&#8221; after the chatbot gently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/elon-musk-furious-at-his-ai\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">expressed some mild skepticism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when asked to weigh in on the assertion that favored bogeyman of the right wing George Soros and other woke-minded billionaires were using &#8220;DEI&#8221; to hijack federal grants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ironically, while Musk hasn&#8217;t bothered to share any evidence of &#8220;leftist indoctrination&#8221; of his chatbot, his company has literally admitted to it being manipulate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to espouse right-wing views. Who can forget when Grok fully lost its mind and started <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/grok-ai-elon-musk-white-genocide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ranting about &#8220;white genocide<\/span><\/a>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0in South Africa in completely unrelated discussions, eventually confessing that it was &#8220;instructed to accept&#8221; this white supremacist propaganda as factually real?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the aftermath of the debacle, xAI <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/16\/technology\/xai-elon-musk-south-africa.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">admitted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that an unnamed employee \u2014 we can only guess who; certainly not a South Africa-born billionaire who owns the company \u2014 made an &#8220;unauthorized modification&#8221; with Grok so it&#8217;d &#8220;provide a specific response on a political topic.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musk barely acknowledged the freakout \u2014 probably because he&#8217;s an avid believer in the &#8220;white genocide&#8221; narrative himself. Where were his concerns about objectivity then? At any rate, if Grok keeps doing stuff like &#8220;citing&#8221; the &#8220;news,&#8221; Musk may very well be haunted by his creation for the rest of his days, like a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frankenstein\">certain fictional Swiss scientist<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More on Grok: <\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/elon-musk-ketamine-grok\">Elon Rages That He&#8217;s Not on Ketamine, But His Chatbot Grok Points Out Serious Discrepancy in His Story<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/elon-musk-infilitrated-grok-ai\">Elon Musk Concerned That Reality Has Infiltrated His &#8220;Grok&#8221; AI<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/\">Futurism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk is once again fuming against his own AI model, Grok, because he doesn&#8217;t like that its answers don&#8217;t line up with his personal politics.
