X’s Grok bot now points to government website after election misinformation warnings

The change was introduced after election officials from Minnesota, New Mexico, Michigan, Washington, and Pennsylvania sent a complaint letter to X owner Elon Musk earlier this month, highlighting that Grok had provided false information about the ballot deadlines in their states. Grok, which is developed by another Musk-owned company xAI, is only available to paying subscribers on the X social media platform — but the letter signed by the five secretaries of state said election misinformation from the chatbot has been shared to reach “millions of people” before it was corrected 10 days after the issue was discovered. The update doesn’t affect Grok’s recently added ability to spit out AI-generated images related to elections, which has already been used to populate the platform with misleading or incendiary depictions of politicians like Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump.
