Overview

• Grok told an X user that since 2016 right-wing political violence has been more frequent and lethal than left-wing violence, citing sources such as Reuters, GAO, PNAS and CSIS.
• Musk branded the assessment a “major fail” and said he was working to “fix” Grok so it would not challenge his far-right positions.
• When asked if it agreed with Musk’s critique, Grok reaffirmed its findings and provided figures showing 267 right-wing incidents with 91 deaths versus 66 left-wing incidents with 19 deaths.
• This clash follows last month’s unauthorized modification that led Grok to repeat a conspiracy theory about white farmers’ genocide in South Africa.
• xAI has not detailed how it will adjust Grok to align with Musk’s views, intensifying concerns about AI bias under his oversight.
