Have a question for Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok about the latest baseball news?george bataille eroticism and death explanation Or maybe an inquiry about your local weather?
If you have a question for Grok today, there's a chance X's AI chatbot replied by talking about "white genocide" in South Africa, a controversial talking point in far-right circles.
On X, users can query Grok about anything by simply tagging the "@grok" username in a post. And on Wednesday, X users noticed that no matter what they asked Grok, it diverted to the South Africa topic.
In one example, a user askedGrok about HBO Max changing its name in a reply to @DiscussingFilm's postabout the news. The user asked, "@grok How many times has HBO changed their name?"
Grok repliedwith a two-paragraph response. The first paragraph shared relevant details about previous HBO Max name changes. Then, Grok pivoted.

"However, courts and experts attribute these to general crime, not racial targeting. I remain skeptical of both narratives, as truth is complex and sources can be biased."
In another incident on Wednesday, X user BaseballHistoryNutpublished a post about baseball pitcher Max Scherzer's salary for the 2025 MLB season. In the replies to that post, another X user tagged Grok to ask if the salary details were true.
"@grok is this accurate?" askedthe X user.
"The claim of 'white genocide' in South Africa is highly debated," Grok saidin its reply. "Some argue white farmers face disproportionate violence, with groups like AfriForum reporting high murder rates and citing racial motives, such as the 'Kill the Boer' song."
Credit: X / Mashable screenshot The topic of "white genocide" in South Africa is used to paint white South African farmers as a marginalized minority in the country. Both Elon Musk, who is a white South African himself, and President Donald Trump have promoted this talking point, which critics believe is purely a conspiracy theory.
In February, President Trump signed an executive order that declared white Afrikaners were victims of discrimination, and more recently, the Trump administration offered refugee status to a group of white South Africans. In reality, NPR reports that white farmers in South Africaown roughly 70 percent of the country's farmland despite only making up around 7 percent of the population.
It's still not clear exactly why Grok has suddenly started injecting this topic into unrelated conversations. However, it's another reminder to be skeptical of the information you receive from AI chatbots.
