Elon Musk’s live demo of Grok 4, the latest big-ticket model from his AI startup, began with high-intensity music, claims of a “ludicrous rate of progress,” and a lot of chatter on X about Grok’s scandal-filled week.

AI owner Elon Musk made some big claims about Grok’s capability, saying it was “better than PhD level in every subject.”

Authorities said the chatbot generated responses insulting the strongman president, modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and religious values.

A change to Grok’s internal instructions, or system prompt, is leading users to accuse Elon Musk’s AI of a renewed rightward tilt. The new instructions tell it to assume some media information is biased.

Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot blamed DOGE for Texas flood deaths and shared an antisemitic trope, days before Grok 4's release.
