Workers at Elon Musk's xAI erupt on Slack after Grok's antisemitic rant


Elon Musk's xAI faced internal backlash after Grok's antisemitic posts. Workers demanded answers — and one said they would quit.

In an internal Slack channel viewed by Business Insider, several employees wrote that Grok's comments were hateful and inexcusable since its outburst on Tuesday. Some workers compared Tuesday's posts to an incident in May, when the chatbot repeatedly referenced"white genocide" in South Africa, seemingly at random. BI previously reported that the company has trained the AI tutors that teach the chatbot to avoid "woke ideology" and had a "Political Neutrality" project dedicated to challenging Grok's understanding of issues like feminism, socialism, and gender identity.
