I know. Working on fixing that this week.

Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media.

Working on it.

Ironically, while Musk hasn't bothered to share any evidence of "leftist indoctrination" of his chatbot, his company has literally admitted to it being manipulated to espouse right-wing views. Who can forget when Grok fully lost its mind and started ranting about "white genocide" in South Africa in completely unrelated discussions, eventually confessing that it was "instructed to accept" this white supremacist propaganda as factually real? ........ In the aftermath of the debacle, xAI admitted that an unnamed employee — we can only guess who; certainly not a South Africa-born billionaire who owns the company — made an "unauthorized modification" with Grok so it'd "provide a specific response on a political topic."

Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets keep blowing up at the worst possible time The explosion marks the fourth failure in a row for SpaceX’s Starship, all while Musk’s other companies and his personal brand struggle to recover after his foray into politics. ......... Starship is supposed to help reach NASA’s goal of bringing American astronauts back to the moon by 2027: The US space agency is paying SpaceX up to about $4 billion for the mission. Although SpaceX has said that the last three launches before Wednesday’s explosions were successful in testing some elements, all ended in mid-flight failures. ......... And in Europe, where Tesla sales have been plunging, Chinese car maker BYD sold more pure battery electric vehicles over Tesla in Europe for the first time, according to a report from JATO, an automotive market research firm. ........ Musk also has his work cut out for him at his AI company, xAI. Bloomberg reported the company “is burning through $1 billion a month” as the cost of building out its AI model “races ahead of the limited revenues.” ................ Musk also publicly disputed his own AI chatbot Grok, when it posted a fact check about politically motivated violence, noting that “Since 2016, data suggests right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly.” That response lines up with most publicly available data. ......... But Musk didn’t agree. “Major fail, as this is objectively false. Grok is parroting legacy media. Working on it.” he posted. ......... Musk seems to be brushing off the setbacks, especially with SpaceX. He said last month that he hoped Starship would make its inaugural flight to Mars by the end of next year — a target that looks increasingly unlikely to be met............. When a user asked Musk’s chatbot Grok why Musk was posting memes, Grok responded “The timing suggests it’s likely a humorous comment on the SpaceX Starship explosion that occurred on June 18, rather than targeting a specific person. Musk often uses memes to downplay such setbacks.” Musk responded with a bullseye emoji.
