Israelis are asking to ban Grok 4

Indian-origin New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani shared on X that Israelis are calling to ban Grok 4 after it compared Israel to a “parasite which controls America.”

This came after Elon Musk's GrokAI also made headlines for spewing antisemitic replies to user questions, even claiming to be “MechaHitler.” xAI later limited Grok's X account and deleted those controversial posts.


Elon Musk's xAI released its latest Grok 4 AI model with the aim of creating a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” At the live-streaming event to unveil the new AI model, Musk claimed that it was “PhD level in most cases.”

Musk claims Grok 4 to be the “smartest AI model in the world," it seems the outrage over Grok’s antisemitic and pro-Hitler posts is here to stay.

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist running for New York City mayor, has highlighted the deep divisions within the Democratic Party as it seeks to rebuild its image nearly six months into Donald Trump’s presidency.
