Marjorie Taylor Greene Isn’t Happy With Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has it out for Grok.

The Georgia Republican lit into the AI chatbot, which was created by Elon Musk’s xAI and is available to users on X, on Friday after it called her Christian beliefs into question.

“The judgement seat belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform,” Greene wrote. “Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda.”

The congresswoman also offered a warning about AI chatbots in general, saying: “When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost.”

In response to a post from a user asking whether Greene was “really a Christian,” the chatbot said that the question was “subjective,” mentioning the congresswoman’s prior association with the QAnon conspiracy theory and her self-declared status as a Christian nationalist.

While Greene contends that Groke has a left-leaning bias — a contention that many make about AI — the chatbot took a different turn recently, bringing up the topic of “white genocide” in South Africa in response to unrelated inquiries.

And according to documents previously obtained by BI, xAI has been training the chatbot specifically to avoid being “woke” like other chat bots. “The general idea seems to be that we’re training the MAGA version of ChatGPT,” one xAI worker told BI in February.

Spokespeople for Greene and xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The congresswoman has also previously praised Grok, writing on X in September that she was “impressed how much Grok knows”
