• Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot on X, incorrectly verified a fabricated screenshot in which Musk appeared to mock Stephen Miller by claiming he ‘took’ Miller’s wife.
• Musk publicly corrected the record on X, posting “No, it’s fake ffs. I never posted this,” and reprimanding Grok for its error.
• Katie Miller departed her White House advisory position as a special government employee to join Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and later his private companies, prompting speculation about her marriage to Stephen Miller.
• Grok’s reliance on engagement metrics to verify the post’s authenticity highlights the weaknesses of AI-driven fact-checking on social media.
• Over the weekend, Musk resumed a more conciliatory stance toward President Trump and refollowed Stephen Miller on X, suggesting the previous feud may be easing.
