BASTROP, TX—After news broke that the company’s AI tool had shared several antisemitic posts to X, Elon Musk announced Wednesday that he’d scrubbed the social media platform of the Jewish users who made Grok mad. “We are aware of several inappropriate posts made by our xAI chatbot, and we are working to remove the Jews who set it off,” said X spokesperson Emma Payne, adding that Musk and his team were working around the clock to purge several million users so that Grok never again had to encounter and spew hate speech at a religious minority. “We want to be very clear. We here at X will not tolerate any user who upsets our large language model because they are not Aryan, Christian, or of the purest of bloodline. We regret the error, and we will do everything in our power to update our code to ensure no Jew uses this social media site in the future.” At press time, Musk announced that he had also preemptively purged the platform of Black users just in case Grok started to get any ideas.
