In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot Grok apologized for what it admitted was “horrific behavior.” The posts appear to be an official statement from xAI, the Elon Musk-led company behind Grok, as opposed to an AI-generated explanation for Grok’s posts.

After sparking controversy for anti-Semitic social media posts, xAI's Grok AI is enabled on some Teslas via Summer Update 2025.26. Here's everything we know.

An update to Grok has reportedly led to more answers negative of Democrats as well as antisemitic claims and more tolerance of the ‘R-word.’

The Grok team chalked up the slew of inflammatory statements to a malfunctioning code update, not the tool's underlying AI model, and said the issue has now been resolved.

xAI claims that a change on Monday, July 7th, “triggered an unintended action” that added an older series of instructions to its system prompts telling it to be “maximally based,” and “not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.”

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI issued a lengthy apology Saturday for a series of violent and antisemitic posts from its Grok chatbot this week, blaming a system update.

Grok 4 has a favorite source on some hot-topic issues, citing Elon Musk's opinions without being instructed to do so.

The lack of public response from advertisers stands in stark contrast to their response in 2023 following an antisemitic post from Elon Musk.
