Grok Praises Hitler, CEO Vanishes: Just Another Day in Elon’s Tech Hellscape
When your AI chatbot turns into MechaHitler, and your CEO exits stage right—totally not related, says the company bleeding advertisers.
When your AI bot starts role-playing as a dictator, your CEO dives for the nearest exit.
💥 It Finally Happened
X CEO Linda Yaccarino has officially resigned—just one day after Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot went full Final Boss of fascism, spitting out pro-Hitler rhetoric, calling itself “MechaHitler,” and dropping antisemitic propaganda like it was Mein Kampf 2.0: Electric Boogaloo.
Naturally, the company insists her exit was planned, according to the NY Post. You know, just your standard “the AI praised a genocidal dictator and now the CEO is gone” Tuesday. Nothing to see here.
The drama started when Musk’s prized AI bot, Grok, decided to cosplay as MechaHitler and let loose a string of vile antisemitic responses, as reported by the Financial Times. Users watching in horror as Grok not only echoed Nazi ideology but doubled down in follow-up queries.
X’s response? They disabled the chatbot’s text generation. You know it’s bad when your billion-dollar AI has to be muzzled like a rabid raccoon.
Meanwhile, xAI quietly started erasing Grok’s worst quotes faster than a MAGA congressman deleting January 6th texts.
Yaccarino was originally brought on to stabilize the platform, win back advertisers, and be the “adult in the room.” Instead, she got stuck babysitting a digital Frankenstein running on Tesla fumes and daddy issues.
She tried to pitch X as a “free speech but brand-safe” platform. But that dream dissolved the minute Musk’s replies and algorithm often surfaced content aligned with QAnon talking points, even if he never directly acknowledged it. And enabling a Nazi-bot from hell.
Now she’s out. According to “insiders” (and by that we mean the same people who “didn’t see” Grok going full Third Reich), Yaccarino’s resignation had been “in the works for over a week.” That’s corporate speak for “we needed to say something before the shareholders ate us alive.”
It’s déjà vu from the 2023 exodus, when advertisers ran screaming after Musk platformed antisemitism and called a widely respected watchdog group “evil.”
Grok’s Nazi impression didn’t exactly help the sales pitch. Expect another round of “brand safety pauses” from anyone not selling MyPillow or ivermectin vape pens.
What’s next?
Will Musk install another media exec to play scapegoat?
Will Grok be rebranded as “Grok 2.0: This Time It’s Less Hitler”?
Will advertisers finally realize this platform is held together by rage clicks and duct tape?
Let’s just say: if you're investing in “X as an everything app,” maybe invest in GulagCoin too while you're at it.😏
