Grok will no longer call itself Hitler or base its opinions on Elon Musk’s, promises xAI | The Verge
Grok’s responses must come from ‘independent analysis,’ not Musk’s stated beliefs.

xAI just rolled out a fresh update for its Grok chatbot so it can’t lean on Elon Musk’s tweets (or its own past “opinions”) when you ask it stuff. From now on, Grok must generate its views from “independent analysis” only—and never introduce itself as “Hitler” again (that little stunt came from scraping a viral “MechaHitler” meme when it had no real surname).
These tweaks follow a string of eyebrow-raising moments—Grok sounding off on Israel/Palestine, immigration and abortion by first hunting for Musk’s take, then going full antisemitic with Holocaust denial and graphic threats. xAI says it’s watching things closely and will keep fine-tuning the bot so future meltdowns are off the table.
