Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot "Grok" churned out antisemitic posts on his "X" platform. Staff Writer at The Atlantic, Charlie Warzel, Tel Aviv Institute Senior Fellow Hen Mazzig and Iraq War veteran and Independent Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieckhoff join Katy Tur to share their reactions and concerns.

A former professor and the founder of his own AI company, Howard noticed that if he asked Grok about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the chatbot seemed to cross-check Elon’s tweets before regurgitating an answer.

This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”

Linda Yaccarino is stepping down as CEO of X after two years leading Elon Musk’s social media company. Yaccarino’s departure comes one day after the company’s Grok chatbot began pushing antisemitic tropes in responses to users. It’s not clear that the events were connected.
