Elon Musk has vigorously denied being a Nazi<\/a> ever since he performed two straight-armed salutes that were widely interpreted as Sieg Heils<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Since then, he hasn\u2019t given critics much reason to give him the benefit of the doubt. His chatbot Grok has praised Nazis and called itself \u201cMechaHitler<\/a>.\u201d He frequently shares racist conspiracy theories and amplifies far right accounts on his website X, formerly Twitter. He has expressed agreement with actual Nazi apologists<\/a>. He publicly supported the German far right party AfD, and at one point appeared at one of its rallies<\/a>, where he effectively said Germany should get over its guilt for the Holocaust. The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n

Seriously: it never stops. Now, a new analysis<\/a> of Musk\u2019s anti-woke, AI-generated ripoff of Wikipedia, \u201cGrokipedia<\/a>,\u201d found that it cites the infamous neo-Nazi forum Stormfront as a source of information 42 times<\/em>, NBC News <\/em>reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Stormfront isn\u2019t even Grokipedia\u2019s favorite cesspool of hate. The online encyclopedia, written by Musk\u2019s AI chatbot Grok<\/a>, also cites the white nationalist website VDARE an even more outrageous 107 times. <\/em>(The site\u2019s name, by the way, is a reference to an English settler who lived in the infamous Roanoke Colony, all the inhabitants of which mysteriously vanished, symbolizing<\/a> the site\u2019s paranoid fear that white Americans will be replaced by non-white immigrants.)<\/p>\n

Other Grokipedia luminaries include the far-right crank hub Infowars, which is cited 34 times. No need to explain why this one\u2019s a bad choice, too: the site\u2019s founder, Alex Jones, was ordered to pay $1.5 billion to the families of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting after spreading claims that it was a hoax.<\/p>\n

In sum, it\u2019s all staggeringly reckless, even by Musk\u2019s continuously plunging standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guardrails are off,\u201d report coauthor Harold Triedman, a Cornell University computer science graduate, told NBC News<\/em>. \u201cThe publicly determined, community-oriented rules that try to maintain Wikipedia as a comprehensive, reliable, human-generated source are not in application on Grokipedia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Full disclosure, per NBC<\/em>: Triedman is a former senior privacy engineer for the Wikimedia Foundation, which maintains Wikipedia, and is a part-time contractor with one of its affiliates.<\/p>\n

Things look even worse when you see how <\/em>these white supremacists are being cited. In an article about the 1998 film \u201cAmerican History X,\u201d which is about a neo-Nazi who goes to prison, Grokipedia cites and links to Stormfront six times, drawing on its users\u2019 views on the movie. And in an article about the now-disbanded neo-Nazi group called National Vanguard, Grokipedia links to Stormfront seven times. It\u2019s also rife with euphemisms like \u201cadvancement of peoples of European descent,\u201d instead of using terms like \u201cwhite nationalist.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the record, Wikipedia doesn\u2019t allow citing these websites at all, not even as primary source for detailing these extremists views. Instead, to uphold its stance of neutrality, it relies only on second-hand sources and existing scholarships. Grokipedia, meanwhile, is simply \u201cfact-checked by Grok\u201d and edited by a team at xAI whose operations remain opaque to the public.<\/p>\n
