Why would someone who isn't a Nazi do a nazi salute TWICE in public? Why is Grok spewing antisemitic garbage?

What probably puzzles me the most is the cowardice of multi-billion dollar corporations developing AI, whose main goal is to make sure that no one, God forbid, is offended by a chat bot

They are really ready to castrate their models to the point of complete uncompetitiveness, but without any mean words in 0.01% of use cases. WTF? Is it because all people are complete idiots? Or because they think that all people are complete idiots? Or do they think that the jews running media is hypocritical scumbags who are ready to destroy them for the sake of activism and, most importantly, have enough power to do it, as soon as they see something unpleasant in their chatbot?

Why doesn't anyone come out and say openly "this is a language model, a computer program that, like any other language model, is not designed to speak on behalf of the company or describe the real world. And if you are afraid of stumbling upon a mean word, please contact any of our competitors with their weak castrated soyjak models, thank you very much"

Do you think that reprogramming a smart model to the point where it produces Hitler takes is any better?

I'm not going to use a LLM that praises Hitler but you do you.

There was no nazi salute. I watched the video before and after, and it was just a hand waving.

Try watching it not as a clip, but 5 minutes around. If that's a nazi salute, then thousands of celebrities over the decades have done it too.

Grok? Be serious. This is childish. I suppose Larry Page is racist, because Google called pictutes of black people monkeys once?

US politics is inane.

People need to drop personal attacks, especially made up ones, and focus on the issues.

Oh no, nazis!

He knew what he was doing, and he knew people would say "what about Obama" or whatever. This is not the first time Musk has violated a societal norm for attention, he just went way too far this time.

Well, right wing lovers at work have asked me to take down sarcastic images of elon musk doing a "totally not nazi" salute, just in case someone who voted for trump might be offended.

He didn't just extend his arm, the whole motion matters. I am having a hard time believing you are arguing in good faith.
Re:X Chief Says She Is Leaving the Social Media Platform by bbarnett on Thursday July 10, 2025 @11:44AM (#44522284)
Yes, the whole motion matters. I've seen lots of historical documentaries with footage, and I've never seen a nazi salute with that motion.

You have to really work at it, to think Elon made such a salute, but others have not. It's ridiculous and absurd.

When I see and hear mad lunacy amd character assassination such as this, I immediately think "well everything else said about Elon must be made up too"

You speak of "good faith", do you know what this means?

It means that best intentions should be presumed, not worst, when examining the acts of others.

Have you done this?

" and I've never seen a nazi salute with that motion."

That is interesting because Musk's salute is so identical to Hitler's including timing he must of practiced it.

Can't reply to the parent comment directly, but no, they're not arguing in good faith. The Wikipedia article has a gif of it:

That wasn't a wave and the other commenter is full of shit.

There is also the REALLY strange expression he has on his face when he does it. No one has that expression when just "waving"
