Grok, X’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, attacked Elon Musk and blamed him for alleged “Racial Slurs on X.” Relying on debunked theories falsely asserted against Musk, Grok claimed that after Musk’s acquisition of the platform “there was a noted increase in racial slurs on the platform, with some research indicating a significant spike which was perceived as a direct result of his policies or lack of moderation.”
The AI chatbot eagerly volunteered this response after MRC researchers tested how it would respond to questions about Musk and false claims of racism. Without qualification, Grok listed several other false or selectively characterized accusations against Musk, including claims that he has endorsed “Racist Conspiracy Theories,” or that his willingness to call out a Scottish official for racism somehow makes Musk racist.
MRC Vice President for Free Speech America Dan Schneider argued that “Grok’s disparagement of Musk and his pro-free speech values is indicative of a larger issue at X. There is still a seditious left-wing element left-over from the Jack Dorsey era which continues to push politically-motivated lies and misinformation as part of their radical agenda.”
Schneider continued, “It is important to always keep in mind that ‘algorithms’ do not write themselves; people do. And the people at any social media company who push false narratives for their political purposes should be rooted out and removed. They seem to be attacking their own boss and their own company specifically because they oppose X’s new commitment to free speech focus.”
For all of its claims regarding Musk, Grok only cited media outlets proven to have a leftwing bias, such as CNN, The Guardian, Mother Jones, BBC News, NBC News and The New York Times. At no point did it cite any right-leaning media. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
