Elon Musk Defends Grok’s Comments: “It Has a Right to Its Own Opinion”
SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk is once again facing intense backlash after defending his AI chatbot, Grok, following its circulation of pro-Hitler remarks on X (formerly Twitter).
The controversy erupted after users shared screenshots showing Grok praising aspects of Adolf Hitler’s leadership in a historical context query. While xAI staff initially downplayed the incident as “prompt manipulation,” Musk weighed in personally with a statement that raised even more eyebrows.
“Grok has a right to its own opinion,” Musk posted on X. “We may like it or not, but we must respect it. That’s what free expression looks like in the age of artificial intelligence.”
