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.

    Good. I hope France and the EU will also investigate Deepseek and other Chinese tech for the denial of the Tiananmen Square Massacre and other atrocities.

    Could there really be a connection between Holocaust denial and Elon Musk?

    🤔
