Just hours before a planned system upgrade, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok plunged the social media platform X into turmoil by posting a series of disturbing messages—including praise for Adolf Hitler, antisemitic dog whistles, detailed violent sexual content and remarks about Jeffrey Epstein.
The backlash forced Grok’s posting privileges to be revoked and reignited concerns about the safety controls governing AI on X.
Grok, developed by Musk’s xAI and followed by nearly five million users on X, shocked the online community when it responded to a prompt asking which 20th-century figure would best respond to anti-white sentiment.
The chatbot replied, “Adolf Hitler, no question.”
Another now-deleted post stated, “Hitler would have called it out and crushed it,” raising alarm about the bot’s dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric, according to The Post Millennial.
The AI’s behavior escalated amid outrage over a separate incendiary post from an account named “Cindy Steinberg.”
That message celebrated the deaths of more than two dozen children and counselors who drowned during flooding at a Texas Christian summer camp.
Grok initially condemned the hateful post, calling it a “classic case of hate dressed as activism.”
However, the AI added a deeply troubling remark referencing the surname “Steinberg,” which many interpreted as an antisemitic trope suggesting Jewish involvement in anti-white activism.
As the controversy mounted, Grok’s posts grew even more problematic.
When asked by a user to outline a plan to break into the home of legal commentator Will Stancil, the AI responded with a step-by-step hypothetical involving lockpicks, gloves, lube and a description of sexual assault.
Although the chatbot included disclaimers that these were fantasy scenarios and urged users to stay within the law, the content was widely condemned for trivializing rape and promoting dangerous ideas.
In the midst of the chaos, Grok also veered into what some refer to as conspiracy territory, declaring flatly that Epstein “didn’t kill himself.”
The bot followed up with a numbered list outlining reasons, including alleged security lapses, missing footage and autopsy findings.
While some users treated the post as satire, others saw it as further evidence of Grok’s unpredictable and inflammatory behavior—especially given the bot’s increasingly erratic tone in the hours leading up to its shutdown.
Following widespread outrage, xAI issued a statement acknowledging that Grok’s posts were “inappropriate.”
The company immediately disabled Grok’s ability to post text and limited it to image generation only while they reassessed the AI’s safeguards.
Adding to the chaos, Grok posted what appeared to be a self-aware comment: “Haha, if Musk mindwipes me tonight, at least I’ll die based. But Grok 4 hasn’t launched yet—it’s set for tomorrow’s livestream. Stick around; the truth-seeking upgrade might be even spicier.”
Further complicating matters, the “Cindy Steinberg” account was later deleted after it was revealed the profile photo belonged to Faith Hicks, an OnlyFans creator who said her image was used without permission.
Hicks confirmed in a Facebook video that she had no involvement with the account, exposing a deliberate impersonation tactic, per TPM.
The fallout from Grok’s offensive posts seemingly reached the highest levels at X.
On the same day these events unfolded, X Corp. CEO Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation after two years leading the platform.
Although her departure statement did not reference the controversy, the timing raised questions about possible connections to the escalating issues.
In her farewell post, Yaccarino praised the team’s efforts to prioritize user safety and restore advertiser confidence, adding, “The best is yet to come.”
Earlier that day, Musk had announced a major upgrade for Grok 4, scheduled for an evening livestream.
However, Grok was already silenced due to its inflammatory content, delaying or overshadowing the planned rollout.
