XAI's Grok 4 AI chatbot launched Wednesday appears to consult Elon Musk's views when asked its opinion on some controversial matters.

If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache. Truth hurts more than floods,” Grok wrote.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced she was stepping down from her position a day after the company’s Grok artificial intelligence chatbot went haywire and began calling itself “MechaHitler.” Yaccarino’s departing message was positive and did not mention Tuesday’s scandal.

O n 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.”

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

MechaHitler is a fictional cyborg version of Adolf Hitler from the 1992 game Wolfenstein 3D, which gained fame in 90s satire and early internet memes.

A Turkish court has blocked access to Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by the Elon Musk-founded company xAI, after it generated responses that authorities said included insults to President Tayyip Erdogan.
