A viral false claim tied Cindy Steinberg to an anti-Semitic post by @Rad_reflections. She denied it; the account, using her name, has since been deleted.

In response, X mostly turned off Grok, and the chatbot’s official account claimed that “xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.” The next day, CEO Linda Yaccarino announced she was stepping down but also leaked that of course it had nothing to do with the platform’s omnipresent assistant calling for genocide.

He did admit that Grok 4 might 'lack common sense', but said it might create new technology as soon as this year.

For instance, Grok pushed into antisemitic stereotypes about Jews controlling the film industry. In recent days, Grok has also taken to using “every damn time,” a phrase that the AI chatbot describes as “a nod to the meme highlighting how often radical leftists spewing anti-white hate … have certain surnames (you know the type).”
