The billionaire has used Trump’s handling of the ‘Epstein files’ issue to repeatedly attack his former ally since their public falling out last month.

A week after Elon Musk’s Grok dubbed itself “ MechaHitler ” and spewed antisemitic stereotypes, the US government has announced a new contract granting the chatbot’s creator, xAI, up to $200 million to modernize the Defense Department.

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.

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

A week after Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok descended into antisemitic rants and declared itself “MechaHitler,” the social media platform X is back with new AI-controlled chatbots for paid subscribers to “SuperGrok.

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

The incident follows a previous issue with Grok last week, which began responding with hate-filled speech to users on X.

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.”

The AI's creator said there was "never a dull moment" after it began comparing itself to Hitler earlier this week.

Another AI companion is coming to Elon Musk's Grok chatbot.The companion is inspired by "Twilight" and "50 Shades of Grey," Musk said.Grok already has two companions: an anime girl named Ani and a vulgar red panda named Rudi.
