Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company took action against its Grok chatbot on Wednesday, removing a post it had made praising Adolf Hitler in response to a question related to the deadly Texas Hill Country flood.

The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler” in a series of social media posts the Anti-Defamation League called “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic.”

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI says it is in the process of removing "inappropriate" posts by Grok on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, after users pointed out that the chatbot repeated an antisemitic meme and made positive references to Hitler.
