X (néeTwitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories.

Linda Yaccarino stepped down as X's CEO a day after the platform's AI chatbot, Grok, went haywire and began praising Adolf Hitler's actions in responses to users.

Linda Yaccarino has announced that she is stepping down as the CEO of Elon Musk’s X after two years at the helm of the social media platform, previously known as Twitter.

Elon Musk's X has taken the automated account for Grok, its AI chatbot, offline after it spent Tuesday afternoon pushing antisemitic narratives.

MechaHitler is a fictional cyborg version of Adolf Hitler from the 1992 game Wolfenstein 3D, which gained fame in 90s satire and early internet memes.

Grok maker xAI quietly updated its chatbot to assume all media is biased, relying on X, a platform known for misinformation.

Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation as CEO of X on Wednesday. “After two incredible years, I’ve decided to step down as CEO of X,” Yaccarino shared in a post on the social media platform. Yaccarino took over in June 2023, just months after Elon Musk assumed ownership of the platform previously known as Twitter.

Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, praised Adolf Hitler in a series of bizarre posts on X, setting off a meme coin gold rush.
