A Turkish court has banned Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok from operating in Turkey. The decision on Wednesday followed allegations that the chatbot posted offensive content about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,

Profane posts generated by the Grok artificial intelligence chatbot on Elon Musk’s X are unacceptable and could lead to a ban on the platform in Turkey, according to a government minister.

The melee followed a July 4 update to Grok’s default prompts, which Musk characterized at the time as having “improved Grok significantly,” tweeting that “You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company said Wednesday that it’s taking down “inappropriate posts” made by its Grok chatbot, which appeared to include antisemitic comments that praised Adolf Hitler.

We are aware of posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” Musk's company said.

Grok, the AI chatbot from Musk’s xAI, recently came under fire for generating antisemitic and extremist content on X. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned the posts as “irresponsible and dangerous,” warning that they could amplify antisemitism already surging on social platforms.

Grok began repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler, using antisemitic phrases and attacking users with traditionally Jewish surnames.

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into the X platform's artificial intelligence tool Grok on the grounds that it provided insulting responses to AKP President Tayyip Erdoğan.
