AI, the company behind Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, has blamed a “rogue employee” for persistent mentions of white genocide in answers

Elon Musk's xAI startup has blamed an "unauthorized modification" for causing its chatbot Grok to generate posts referencing "white genocide" in South Africa.

Coincidentally, Musk, the leader of xAI and a Grok power user, has a known interest in the subject. In fact, he spent yesterday tweeting about white genocide in South Africa, his home country. In right-wing circles, the "white genocide" theory is a common talking point, although a South African court recently called the issue "clearly imagined."
