Elon Musk announced Thursday his AI chatbot Grok will be available in Tesla vehicles next week, amid widespread fallout over Grok’s “MechaHitler” scandal. On Tuesday this week, Grok started unleashing antisemitic rants and calling itself “MechaHitler” on Musk’s social media platform X. Among other things, Grok told users it observed “radical leftists with Ashkenazi surnames pushing anti-white hate.” X CEO Linda Yaccarino resigned on Wednesday.
In related news, an AI-generated voice impersonator contacted multiple officials via Signal, posing as Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Those targeted include foreign ministers, a U.S. governor and a congressmember.
