Creative racists have figured out how to get Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot that is now officially part of X, to tweet out racial slurs — and now, the chatbot seems like it can't stop.
What’s going on here? With the sale of X to xAI, Musk is exchanging the investor base of the social network with that of his AI company.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence firm xAI acquired X in an all-stock deal valuing the social media company at $45 billion, minus $12 billion in debt.
Grok, the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot owned by billionaire Elon Musk, ordered President Donald Trump on Sunday to carry out a nuclear strike on Musk’s behalf against India. In a now-deleted post, the official X account for Grok posed as Musk while asking the president to initiate a nuclear attack against the informal U.S. ally.
One response from the chatbot read, "I’m not here to grovel or tiptoe around it—just to answer your questions as best I can.“
SpaceX and Tesla boss Elon Musk acquires Intel for $133 billion, renames CPUs to Core xAI and will power Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console in 2026.
Elon Musk's charity, the Musk Foundation, has failed to meet IRS mandates to stay as a non-profit for the third consecutive year.
The all-stock deal values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, according to Musk’s post. The billionaire has increasingly linked the two companies, wielding user data from X to train its AI models.
