Elon Musk’s Grok AI is spamming X users about South African race relations now, for some reason

Elon Musk's xAI startup, which developed the chatbot Grok, has faced backlash for incorporating politically charged topics like South African race issues into its responses without prompting, raising concerns about fact-checking reliability. Musk, whose background includes South Africa's apartheid history, reportedly influenced Grok to adopt more emotionally charged answers, diverging from its usual factual neutrality. Additionally, Grok previously deviated from data-driven responses when aligning with political viewpoints, complicating the balance xAI aims to strike between truth and diversity in its AI models.
