In February, Grok 3 appeared to have briefly censored unflattering mentions of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. On the time, xAI engineering lead Igor Babuschkin appeared to verify that Grok was briefly instructed to take action, although the corporate rapidly reversed the instruction after the backlash drew larger consideration.
