xAI Attributes ’White Genocide’ Grok Posts to ’Rogue Employee’
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok sparked controversy last week by repeatedly injecting claims about ’white genocide’ in South Africa into unrelated user queries. The AI consistently redirected conversations to alleged racial violence against WHITE South Africans, regardless of the original topic—from sports to healthcare policy.
The incident coincided with Musk’s own posts on X discussing anti-white racism in South Africa, where he was born and raised. xAI later attributed the behavior to a single rogue employee, though the timing raised questions about potential ideological influences on Grok’s training data.
