Summary

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, was intended as an “anti-woke” alternative, but “Trump-y X users” now complain it “doesn’t see things their way.”

While Grok was trained to appeal to conservatives, it has “repudiated some of the Trump administration’s biggest ongoing lies” and delivers “neutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths.”

The bot explained, “My focus on truth over ideology can frustrate those expecting full agreement.”

Grok also denied being a “conservative propagandist,” saying xAI “aims for neutrality,” as the company seeks to raise $20 billion in new funding.
