France’s government is taking action against billionaire Elon Musk ‘s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after it generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz, officials said.

Grok, built by Musk’s company xAI and integrated into his social media platform X, wrote in a widely shared post in French that gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp were designed for “disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus” rather than for mass murder — language long associated with Holocaust denial.

The Auschwitz Memorial highlighted the exchange on X, saying that the response distorted historical fact and violated the platform’s rules.

    I‘m honestly not sure why Xitter is even allowed to operate in the EU after… well, after everything.

      Still shocking to see how many big(European) websites and brands still use Twitter or promote it in their socials. At least go to LinkedIn if bluesky is to small or weird for you…
