Summary
Grok, Elon Muskās AI chatbot, was intended as an āanti-wokeā alternative, but āTrump-y X usersā now complain it ādoesnāt see things their way.ā
While Grok was trained to appeal to conservatives, it has ārepudiated some of the Trump administrationās biggest ongoing liesā and delivers āneutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths.ā
The bot explained, āMy focus on truth over ideology can frustrate those expecting full agreement.ā
Grok also denied being a āconservative propagandist,ā saying xAI āaims for neutrality,ā as the company seeks to raise $20 billion in new funding.
The term is ātoeā the party line, but I like ātowā the party line ibecause thatās what Trump is doing. His followers agree to a set of beliefs one day and then he upends the orthodoxy the next, forcing them to take on a new position they wouldāve been opposed to earlier. Followers Toe/Trump Tows matching pair like imply/infer.
