Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company took action against its Grok chatbot on Wednesday, removing a post it had made praising Adolf Hitler in response to a question related to the deadly Texas Hill Country flood.

The backlash against the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI has escalated since the posts were made Tuesday, with the ADL condemning the "extremist" comments.

The chatbot referred to itself as “MechaHitler” in a series of social media posts the Anti-Defamation League called “irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic.”
