  • Elon Musk was critical of his artificial intelligence platform, Grok, for stating that right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly than left-wing violence since 2016.
  • Grok's analysis cited incidents like the January 6 Capitol riot and mass shootings as examples of right-wing violence, while noting left-wing violence is less lethal and often targets property.
  • Elon Musk dismissed Grok's findings as a 'major fail' and 'objectively false,' accusing the AI chatbot of 'parroting legacy media' and stating he was working to correct it.
