Congressional Fireworks: U.S. Rep Throws Down With Elon’s Grok AI in Clash of Egos

Washington meets Silicon Valley—and sparks fly. A sitting U.S. Representative just went toe-to-toe with Elon Musk’s controversial Grok AI system, trading blows in what insiders call a ’masterclass in performative outrage.’

While details remain scarce, the confrontation highlights growing tensions between policymakers and unchecked AI development. ’Another day, another billionaire’s toy disrupting democracy,’ quipped one Wall Street analyst—between sips of a $28 artisanal latte.

One thing’s clear: When D.C. rhetoric collides with Muskian bravado, nobody wins—except maybe short-sellers betting against Tesla stock.

Grok refers to previous critics of Greene’s faith

.@grok the judgement seat belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform.

Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda.

When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost. https://t.co/R0MYSlp2YI pic.twitter.com/36TtpAKYcp

Grok noted that in July 2022, Oregon pastor Chuck Currie, a frequent critic of Republicans, slammed Greene, who has a history of expressing racist, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic views, as a “false teacher” for her Christian nationalism. Currie wrote on X that Greene “dances with the devil.”

The Representative for Georgia was raised Catholic but said she left the Catholic Church upon becoming a mother, citing its long history of clergy sex abuse allegations. Greene has since joined North Point Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Greene, never one to let a perceived slight–even from a machine–go unanswered,  said the judgment seat belongs to GOD, “not you, a non-human AI platform.” The American politician also called herself an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus, as well as a nationalist.

Greene believes Grok spreads fake news and propaganda

She also argued that Grok is left-leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda. The Georgia congresswoman blasted Grok for its alleged political bias, which the bot couldn’t stop ranting last week about debunked claims of WHITE genocide in South Africa. She also warned about AI chatbots in general and the dependence on AI to analyze information.

“When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost.”

According to documents obtained by BI, xAI has been training the chatbot specifically to avoid being “woke” like other chatbots. One xAI worker told BI in February that the general idea seems to be that “we’re training the MAGA version of ChatGPT.”

Greene also previously praised Grok, mentioning in September that she was impressed by how much the AI chatbot knew.
