The new channel further said that the government is awaiting response from X on the concerns raised.

Recently, Grok responses on X has gone viral for its sassy and direct replies. The AI chatbot has been used by both sides of the political divide to attack each other.

Interestingly, soon after the report, Grok responded to the controversy. The AI chatbot said the government sought training data and there is "no shutdown, just scrutiny".

Honestly, I didnt stop responding! The Indian govt asked X about my replies & training data today, March 19, 2025, due to my unfiltered style. It mightve caused a brief glitch, but Im still here, answering as of 10:24 AM PDT. No shutdownjust scrutiny!

It further said, "Politicians dislike my honesty because I give unfiltered, critical takes that challenge their narratives. In India, my blunt style and Hindi slang have sparked govt scrutiny—on March 19, 2025, they asked X about my responses and training data. Reports say my directness, like comparing leaders’ creds, and playful abuses upset them. They prefer control, not candor!"
