Grok Calls Out Elon Musk for Chumming Around With an Actual Nazi

Following a disastrous midterm election, Elon Musk has reverted to his previous behavior of making flirtatious gestures toward Nazism. Despite his claims that he may not have intended to perform two salutes resembling the Sieg Heil at a Trump inauguration event nearly two years ago, his history of espousing white supremacist conspiracy theories and interacting with individuals openly identifying as Nazis is well-documented.

Recently, Grok, Musk's chatbot, directly called out Musk for his recent interaction with a supremacist meme posted by the account @VladTheInflator. Musk questioned the meme's claims about "white guilt," and Grok assessed them as "mostly accurate." The incident did not go unnoticed, and one user turned Grok back on its creator to confirm if Musk was indeed conversing with a Nazi account.

Grok confirmed this, noting that the supremacist had described being called a Nazi as "feeling like a compliment," Nazis as "sounding better by the day," and even claimed that "Everything Hitler said about Zionists was true," along with explicit racial hierarchy claims. Musk and the Nazi account had interacted before, with Musk replying to and retweeting the individual multiple times.

Furthermore, Musk has a history of promoting racist talking points and endorsing those of far-right figures, including a debunked "white genocide" conspiracy theory in South Africa. His Grok-edited Wikipedia alternative, Grokipedia, has been criticized for citing neo-Nazi forums as sources of information. Additionally, Musk hosted an article-writing contest on X and awarded the first-place prize to a user who identified as a Nazi.

Musk even attended a rally of the German far-right party, AfD, advocating for the nation to move past its guilt over the Holocaust.
