When Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot began spewing out antisemitic responses to several queries on X last week, some users were shocked.

The X account for Elmo from “Sesame Street” spewed some unsavory comments after getting hacked on Sunday. The posts included a series of antisemitic and racist slurs as well as commentary about President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Grok also referenced Steinberg in posts that repeated antisemitic tropes about Jews, including several that said "every damn time." Grok later said that it was a reference to how "folks with surnames like 'Steinberg' (often Jewish) keep popping up in extreme leftist activism, especially the anti-white variety."

Elon Musk’s company xAI apologized after Grok posted hate speech and extremist content, blaming a code update and pledging new safeguards to prevent future incidents.

Elmo’s X account has been reclaimed after Sesame Workshop said it was hacked following antisemitic posts and negative comments about President Donald Trump. The popular “Sesame Street” character has more than 650,000 followers, and some of the offensive posts were related to Jeffrey Epstein and Trump.

The companions have their own X accounts, because of course they do. Ani's bio states, "Smooth, a little unpredictable—I might dance, tease, or just watch you figure me out. Let’s keep it chill… or not." Meanwhile, Rudy's just says, "The Only Pet in Grok Companion."

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence start-up xAI said its models are now available to federal agencies. The DOD said it awarded $200 million contracts to xAI as well as Google, Anthropic and OpenAI.
