The optics were appalling; the same week, the older version of Grok repeatedly attacked Black and Jewish people and declared itself "MechaHitler." It also spoke in the first person as if it were Musk himself when a user asked about its creator's interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased billionaire sex trafficker.
