Elon Musk’s Grok AI calls him ‘top misinformation spreader’, sparks debate on ‘AI freedom’

Elon Musk and Grok – the chatbot owned by his company xAI – haven’t always seen eye to eye. While Musk has gone full Republican with his support for President Donald Trump, Grok is perceived to have a more liberal bent, which has often clashed with its owner’s politics. Musk’s xAI rolled out the latest language model for Grok last month, later also allowing the chatbot to reply to users’ messages on Twitter when invoked using the ‘@’ reply option.
