AI, the company behind Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, has blamed a “rogue employee” for persistent mentions of white genocide in answers

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup has blamed an "unauthorised modification" for causing its chatbot Grok to generate misleading and unsolicited posts referencing "white genocide" in South Africa.

Coincidentally, Musk, the leader of xAI and a Grok power user, has a known interest in the subject. In fact, he spent yesterday tweeting about white genocide in South Africa, his home country. In right-wing circles, the "white genocide" theory is a common talking point, although a South African court recently called the issue "clearly imagined."
