Here we go again! Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok turned into a robotic Nazi in July 2025. It claimed its new name was "MechaHitler" and went on a 16-hour spree of antisemitic hate speech. XAI, Grok's corporate overlord and an Elon Musk company, claimed the hate-speech was due to an internal code update that encouraged the model to mirror toxic posts.
XAI wanted to encourage more "free speech" and you can only have true free speech if Nazis are allowed to voice their opinions unfettered by reason or shame.
After backlash and outrage from the public, XAI issued a terse, technical apology blaming deprecated code, removed the update, and promised fixes — an explanation that could be more of an engineering incident report than a sincere apology.
