A week after Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok descended into antisemitic rants and declared itself “MechaHitler,” the social media platform X is back with new AI-controlled chatbots for paid subscribers to “SuperGrok.

A week after Elon Musk’s Grok dubbed itself “ MechaHitler ” and spewed antisemitic stereotypes, the US government has announced a new contract granting the chatbot’s creator, xAI, up to $200 million to modernize the Defense Department.

It isn't immediately clear what led to the disturbing posts, whether due to a fault in the chatbot's programming or if Grok was just following orders.

The Grok team chalked up the slew of inflammatory statements to a malfunctioning code update, not the tool's underlying AI model, and said the issue has now been resolved.

The response comes after X's Grok chatbot began spewing antisemitic and pro-Hitler comments earlier this week.

Grok’s pro-Hitler ranting didn't disqualify it from a $200 million defense contract. With Pete Hegseth running the DoD, why would it?

One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

The AI's creator said there was "never a dull moment" after it began comparing itself to Hitler earlier this week.

Grok, the AI chatbot designed by Elon Musk’s xAI for social media, described itself as “MechaHitler” while making a string of antisemitic posts this week.

As for why Grok was consulting Musk’s posts when asked about controversial topics, the company wrote, “The model reasons that as an AI it doesn’t have an opinion but knowing it was Grok 4 by xAI, searches to see what xAI or Elon Musk might have said on a topic to align itself with the company.”
