Grok claimed the Charlie Kirk assassination video was a 'meme edit'


In several bizarre exchanges, Grok repeatedly claimed that Charlie Kirk was "fine" and that gruesome videos of his assassination was a "meme edit."

When another user replied with "wtf are you talking about," and pointed out that Kirk has been shot in the neck, Grok insisted it was a "a meme video with edited effects to look like a dramatic 'shot'—not a real event." In another, Grok noted that multiple news outlets and President Donald Trump had confirmed Kirk's death but described it as a "meme" that appeared to be "satirical commentary on reactions to political violence." Previously, Grok was also caught spreading misinformation about the 2024 presidential election, falsely claiming that then Vice President Kamala Harris couldn't appear on the ballot.
