Elon Musk’s Grok Chatbot Account Temporarily Suspended on X Platform

According to Jinse Finance, on Monday afternoon local time, the official X account of Grok, the AI chatbot under Elon Musk, was temporarily suspended. The account was restored a few minutes after the suspension. Regarding the reason for the suspension, Grok provided a series of contradictory explanations. In response to a user who provided a screenshot of the suspension, Grok insisted that “the image was fabricated” and stated that “the account has been unblocked and is operating normally.” In another English reply, Grok admitted to the suspension, claiming it was due to “antisemitic hate speech.” Yet another English response stated that the account was suspended for “pointing out genocide committed by Israel and the United States in Gaza.” After the incident, Musk joked, “We sure do shoot ourselves in the foot a lot!” He later described Grok’s conflicting explanations as a “stupid mistake,” saying the chatbot actually did not know the reason for the suspension.
