Grok 4 seems to channel Elon Musk when answering controversial questions

Grok 4, the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s AI company xAI, has drawn criticism for frequently relying on Musk’s own X posts when tackling sensitive or controversial topics.

While Musk has long claimed that xAI aims to build a “maximally truth-seeking AI,” it appears that many of Grok’s so-called truths are drawn directly from his public comments, social media activity, and interviews.

This behaviour hasn’t gone unnoticed. Several users on X have pointed out Grok’s apparent dependence on Musk’s views.
