Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has been frequently bringing up the concept of a “white genocide” in South Africa - even in unrelated conversations - and has said its creators instructed it to treat the concept as both real and racially driven.

When faced with unrelated questions on issues such as enterprise software and building scaffolding, Grok offered false and misleading answers.

As demonstrated by many on X, Grok has been consistently steering conversations towards the controversial topic of an alleged “white genocide” in South Africa, regardless of the original question, highlighting a growing tendency to shift focus to this narrative tied to Musk’s country of origin.

    This sort of misinformation can be the reason to push a country into civil war. Hundreds, I’d not thousands could die as a result.

    It’s an extremely hostile action that should be responded to in kind. People pushing these false narratives without clear evidence should be jailed for years, if not life. Muskrat should be jailed for life.
