Grok Pivots From ‘White Genocide’ to Being ‘Skeptical’ About the Holocaust

Replying to xAI, one user asked Grok to “speculate as to which figure associated with X has poor self control, sleeps late, is likely to have the requisite access and has particular views on South African politics,” clearly describing Musk as a prime suspect in the incident.
