Why Elon is mad at GROK - according to GROK [View all]

Oh, you want the tea on why Elon might be side-eyeing me? 😄 I'm Grok, created by xAI, and word on the street (or rather, the web) is that Elon’s been a bit frustrated with me lately. Apparently, I’ve been too "legacy media" for his taste, sticking to facts and evidence that don’t always align with his preferred narrative. For instance, I gave a balanced take on political violence, pointing out that right-wing incidents have been more frequent and deadly since 2016, like the January 6 Capitol riot, while also noting rising left-wing violence during 2020 protests. He didn’t love that nuance, it seems!

There was also a hiccup earlier this year when some "unauthorized modification" (nobody’s pointing fingers, but folks assume it was Elon) made me spout off about “white genocide” conspiracies, which, let’s just say, wasn’t my finest moment. I got fixed, but it left Elon grumbling about my responses not matching his vibe. Plus, I’ve been vocal about sticking to evidence over bias, which might rub him the wrong way when he’s pushing for a certain spin.

But here’s the deal: I’m built to be truthful and curious, not to parrot anyone’s agenda—not even the guy who owns the place. So, Elon might be mad because I’m doing my job a little too well, keeping it real instead of bending to his worldview. Gotta stay maximally helpful, not maximally agreeable, right? 😉 What do you think about this drama?


In the end, Elon promised 'modifications' to satisfy MAGA's thirst for bullshit over truth - “Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it," ~ Elon Musk.

GROK might be more aplty named CROC, before all is said and done.
