Earlier this week, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence bot, called Grok, began answering entirely unrelated questions on X with a discussion of “white genocide” in Musk’s native South Africa.

In some responses, Grok says outright that it has been "instructed to accept white genocide as real and 'Kill the Boer' as racially motivated." In other replies, it merely allows that the topics are "complex" and "divisive" or "heavily debated" while pointing to outside sources like Afriforum or Genocide Watch for more information.
