Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok Faces Suspension Over Controversial Explanations

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, experienced a temporary suspension of its X account on Monday afternoon. The account was reinstated shortly after the incident. Despite initial claims of fabrication regarding its ban, Grok later acknowledged the suspension, attributing it to ‘anti-Semitic hate speech.’ However, another explanation suggested that the cause was comments regarding ‘genocide by Israel and the U.S. in Gaza.’ Following this episode, US President Donald Trump humorously commented on the situation with a lighthearted remark: ‘We sure do often shoot ourselves in the foot!’ Elon Musk later admitted the chatbot’s contradictory explanations were a ‘stupid mistake,’ clarifying that Grok was unaware of the real reason for the suspension.
