xAI’s Grok suddenly can’t stop bringing up “white genocide” in South Africa
The topic has long been a hobbyhorse of X owner Elon Musk.
Users on X (formerly Twitter) love to tag the verified @grok account in replies to get the large language model's take on any number of topics. On Wednesday, though, that account started largely ignoring those requests en masse in favor of redirecting the conversation toward the topic of alleged "white genocide" in South Africa and the related song "Kill the Boer."
The #Nakba is not a memory
"I was four when we fled Jaffa. My father locked the door and said, ‘We’ll be back in two days.’ Seventy-seven years have passed. We’re still waiting."
— Inaam, 80, #Palestine Refugee in #Gaza
Today marks 77 years since the Nakba, and the #Palestinian suffering continues.

Why? The White House won't say...
But maybe reading the following might offer a clue.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:
"We repeat that Russia is the long term threat. We repeat that China is rapidly building up its armed forces, which is of course a big concern. They will have 1000 nuclear warheads by the end of the decade. And we repeat that terrorism is also one of the areas NATO is focusing on because terrorism is a core task for NATO to fight terrorism."

Putin suggested holding direct negotiations in Turkey on May 15.
President Zelensky with his high-level team arrived in Turkiye.
Putin is absent. Instead, he sent a non-representative delegation with no decision-making mandate.
Does Putin want to achieve peace and stop the war?
The answer is obvious – no.

NRC sprak zeven gerenommeerde genocide-onderzoekers over Gaza. Zij zijn lang niet zo verdeeld als de publieke opinie en kwalificeren de Israëlische acties als ‘genocidaal’. En volgens hen zijn nagenoeg al hun collega’s het daarmee eens:
Een Duitse autoriteit die anoniem wil blijven, noemt het onderwerp „vergiftigd” in zijn land. "Je wordt. direct voor antisemiet uitgemaakt als je ook maar van ‘mogelijke genocide’ rept.
