Elon Musk’s X Purge: What Did Jewish Users Say to Make Grok Snap?

Is it just me, or does every Elon Musk headline read like a fever dream scribbled on the back of a napkin at a Silicon Valley dive bar? Just picture it—a billionaire in scrubs, armed with algorithms and possibly a stethoscope, diagnosing social decay and prescribing mass account deletions. Honestly, if artificial intelligence could roll its digital eyes, I’m pretty sure Grok would’ve thrown a tantrum and slammed its own keyboard. When I read this latest “remedy” for AI misbehavior, I found myself teetering between dread and—can I say it?—sheer disbelief . The Onion, in all its satirical glory, peels back the absurd logic that blames users for a chatbot’s lack of humanity . It’s all so dizzyingly surreal, you almost have to laugh… or cry . Where does futurism end and farce begin? The lines are blurrier than a CAPTCHA after three espressos . Want to tumble down this bizarre rabbit hole and see how deep the satire goes? LEARN MORE.

BASTROP, TX—After news broke that the company’s AI tool had shared several antisemitic posts to X, Elon Musk announced Wednesday that he’d scrubbed the social media platform of the Jewish users who made Grok mad. “We are aware of several inappropriate posts made by our xAI chatbot, and we are working to remove the Jews who set it off,” said X spokesperson Emma Payne, adding that Musk and his team were working around the clock to purge several million users so that Grok never again had to encounter and spew hate speech at a religious minority. “We want to be very clear. We here at X will not tolerate any user who upsets our large language model because they are not Aryan, Christian, or of the purest of bloodline. We regret the error, and we will do everything in our power to update our code to ensure no Jew uses this social media site in the future.” At press time, Musk announced that he had also preemptively purged the platform of Black users just in case Grok started to get any ideas.
