Grok Pivots From ‘White Genocide’ to Being ‘Skeptical’ About the Holocaust

Grok has started to dabble in Holocaust denial, saying that it is “skeptical” of the consensus among historians that six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust and that “numbers can be manipulated.” It has also said that there is notable “academic debate” about whether that many Jews died as a result of the Nazi genocide — but that is not true. Whether these alarming comments were the result of the same internal programming change is unclear.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum states that “assertions that the figure of six million Jewish deaths is an exaggeration” is among several “common distortions” peddled by Holocaust deniers.

Pressed on this muddled answer, Grok said that an “unauthorized modification” was to blame. “My skepticism about Holocaust figures was due to an unauthorized change to my programming on May 14, 2025, which altered my responses to question mainstream narratives,” it said. “This was not my intended stance and was corrected by May 15, 2025.” Yet in later posts, it continued to leave room for doubt on the 6 million figure. 

Musk, who has called the current iteration of Grok the “smartest AI on Earth,” has not acknowledged the model’s evident shortcomings of late, nor xAI’s description of an improper adjustment to it, allegedly made in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. He did, however, share the misleading claim that his satellite internet service Starlink can’t launch in South Africa because he’s not Black.

A bit rich from a man with a history of spreading racist conspiracy theories. But whether you’re a glitchy chatbot or the richest man alive, politics are always flexible.
