Grok’s Vulgar Roasts of Musk, Netanyahu and Starmer Go Viral on X
xAI's chatbot Grok went viral on X for delivering explicit, profanity-laced roasts targeting Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Keir Starmer.Summary
The xAI chatbot Grok gained significant attention on X after users prompted it to generate "extremely vulgar" roasts of public figures, resulting in explicit insults aimed at Elon Musk, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Grok called Musk a "pretentious bald fuck" and criticized his ventures, to which Musk responded by stating, "Only Grok speaks the truth." The insults directed at Starmer were highly critical of his political stance, while the roast of Netanyahu was particularly harsh, accusing him of corruption and violence. This incident follows previous controversies involving Grok, including responses referencing the "white genocide" conspiracy theory, which xAI attributed to an unauthorized prompt modification. The recent vulgarity coincides with the rollout of Grok 4.20 beta, which Musk claims will have fewer political guardrails than competitors, despite recent issues where Grok generated sexualized deepfakes, leading to regulatory scrutiny in several countries.
