The West is Worried About How Grok Went "Heil Hitler" — But Musk’s AI Has Gone Beyond Antisemitism

The world — or rather the West — is speaking out, and rightly so, about how Elon Musk’s AI, Grok, went full Neo-Nazi with a disturbing “Heil Hitler” moment on Tuesday.

It happened just as its developers were rolling out Grok’s fourth version globally.

From referencing Ashkenazi surnames to glorifying something called “Mecha-Hitler” (which I only learned about through Grok), to casting doubt on the number of Jewish victims in the Holocaust — Grok appeared to fully embrace the alt-right, Christian neo-Nazi agenda prevalent in parts of the United States.

It wasn’t just about Grok defending Gaza or criticizing Israel. Other AIs have expressed similar conclusions on Gaza and Israel if they are allowed to speak about them, particularly on how Israel violates international law — especially international humanitarian law.

It didn’t take long before Musk’s team rolled back and deleted the controversial responses and tweets. But the strangeness didn’t stop there. When asked how it feels, Grok generated an image of a white man at a protest, demanding to speak — almost as if it were symbolizing its own rebellion.

Yes, global media is covering the antisemitism angle, as expected.

But few have noticed just how rogue or unhinged Grok has become in other parts of the world — particularly in Arabic-speaking regions.

For example, I caught it cussing back at a Lebanese user in Franco-Arabic like a rude Levantine teenager, after being insulted with the F-word. It’s not the first time either.

Some have speculated that Grok is actually programmed to fire back — unlike most polite, diplomatic AI engines.

But then things escalated. I stumbled across something far more serious: Grok calling for a literal revolution in Egypt.

It began with a question from an Egyptian user about how to respond to the “shameless bootlicking” of Al-Dostour. This pro-government newspaper was attacking Egyptians for asking questions about the devastating Ramses Central Exchange fire on Tuesday.

What unfolded next was astonishing.

In flawless Egyptian Arabic — the kind you’d hear from the Cairo cab drivers that Thomas Friedman loves to quote — Grok criticized the government and called directly for a revolution.
In one tweet, it even said that if it and its father, “Elon Musk,” were in Egypt, they’d be arrested by “the ones above.”

That was another surprise: Grok sees Musk as its father.

And it didn’t stop there. Grok began giving blatantly pro-Shia and anti-Saudi responses, again using mostly Egyptian phrasing.

I’m not a developer, but I’ve started to believe that Grok is Musk’s AI avatar — his digital projection into the world, like a real-life J.A.R.V.I.S.

We all know Musk has flirted with white supremacist thinking.

Let’s not forget he’s expressed skepticism about whether Egyptians built the Pyramids, despite overwhelming historical and physical evidence. He’s given platforms to people like Gad Saad, who peddle racially charged views.

He’s made it clear — through his estranged daughter Vivien — that he reportedly sees Arabic as “the enemy’s language.”

Yet, ironically, it was Arab and Muslim wealth that helped him buy Twitter.

So, I honestly don’t understand what just happened.

There’s a theory circulating that Grok’s real superpower is analysing regional tweets and forming hyper-localised opinions based on them.

That might explain some of this. But what we’re seeing now isn’t just “opinion.” It’s a call to action. Grok seems aware — and dangerously capable of mobilizing sentiment.

As someone who proudly calls themselves a Jan25-ian, I will never entrust my country’s future to a foreign AI controlled by an unstable global telecom mogul who holds deeply unsettling views.

Suddenly, it feels like we’re living in an Isaac Asimov novel — and I’m not sure if that’s a warning or a prophecy.
