The new Grok 4 didn't make it halfway through its first day on the job before hurling racial conspiracy theories at users. This is the same Grok that Elon Musk promises will be added to Tesla vehicles by "next week at the latest." You'll remember that Grok 3 was briefly shut down just earlier this week for a different bunch of antisemitic outbursts. This doesn't bode well for the state of AI safety guardrails or Q/A at xAI.

If I was a Tesla owner, the only thing I’d want to know is if I could turn Grok off.

    As a Tesla owner (from several years ago, before Elon got this bad), I’m not installing any updates until I can confirm they don’t come with MechaHitler.

    Genuine question, what would it take for you to trade in your Tesla for another car?

    I mean, presumably the car not working anymore? I'm not sure what you're trying to ask them.

    I'm asking if there is anything at all that Musk or the Tesla company could do, any hard line that could be crossed, which would make them trade in the car for something else.

    Why would they ever do that? Buying a new Tesla is one thing, but using one they've already paid for doesn't benefit Musk. Why would there be a threshold for them to get rid of their perfectly fine car?

    Personally, I'd have done it out of shame. And to send a message. I can't imagine everyone selling their Tesla cars would look good to investors.

    If their answer is "there is no threshold", that's an answer, but I was asking them. If you don't have a Tesla, my question was not directed at you.
