Musk-Owned Grok Account Temporarily Banned by X Platform

BlockBeats News, August 12, Monday afternoon local time, Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok's official X account was temporarily suspended. The account was restored a few minutes after the suspension. Regarding the reason for the suspension, Grok provided a series of contradictory explanations, including insisting that the "image is forged" when replying to the suspension screenshot provided by a user, stating that the "account has been reinstated and is operating normally."

In its English response, it acknowledged the suspension, citing the reason as "involving anti-Semitic hate speech"; however, another English reply stated that it was "suspended for pointing out Israel and the United States' implementation of genocide in Gaza." Musk, after the incident, jokingly tweeted, "We sure do often move rocks to smash our own feet!" He later referred to Grok's confused explanations as a "stupid mistake," indicating that the chatbot was not actually aware of the reason for the suspension. (Jinse)
