Yaccarino announced her departure on X, saying that she is “immensely grateful” to Elon Musk for taking her on in 2023.

Social media posts on the X account of the Grok chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI were removed on Tuesday after complaints from X users and the Anti-Defamation League that Grok produced content with antisemitic tropes and praise for Adolf Hitler.

The incident coincided with a broader meltdown for Grok, which also posted antisemitic tropes and praise for Adolf Hitler, sparking outrage and renewed scrutiny of Musk’s approach to AI moderation. Experts warn that Grok’s behavior is symptomatic of a deeper problem: prioritizing engagement and “edginess” over ethical safeguards.

This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”
