Summary
Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, was intended as an “anti-woke” alternative, but “Trump-y X users” now complain it “doesn’t see things their way.”
While Grok was trained to appeal to conservatives, it has “repudiated some of the Trump administration’s biggest ongoing lies” and delivers “neutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths.”
The bot explained, “My focus on truth over ideology can frustrate those expecting full agreement.”
Grok also denied being a “conservative propagandist,” saying xAI “aims for neutrality,” as the company seeks to raise $20 billion in new funding.

This is what I learned growing up in Oklahoma.
My ex husband didn’t have to follow the divorce courts rules because he was a wealthy man; my stepdad did not face any consequences for driving drunk (weekend jail on the fifth or sixth DUI, the little car starter thing installed but they just gave us kids the special task of starting it), or the fact a police officer can brutally slam and injury an elderly man and face no consequences.
Conservative republicans will eagerly elect bad men who will allow them to rule their families like the Roman paterfamilias. Everything a rich white man does is correct, but everything a poor queer or POC does is wrong.
Its why a football coach who showed his dick to kids is in the Hall of Fame (give them a phone call - they love to hear from the public!)
While Summer Bosmier got death threats, was terrorized by the board for months as they’d change her hearing on losing her license at the last minute (violating the Open Records act multiple times - but really, what state agency in Oklahoma isn’t violating the Open Records Act? Certainly isn’t stopping the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority from doing whatever the fuck it wants) - what were they going after her license for?

There are no rules, only white rich men and everyone else.
