Meet the New Grok, Same As the Old Grok

Even Elon Musk’s AI chatbot hates the Jews.

I have enormous respect for Elon Musk. He has accomplished things and opened up opportunities that only a few years ago people would have considered impossible. He is a genius, a patriot, and appears to be a sincerely good human being. One of the mistakes we make is what I call the transitive property of greatness. We assume that a former superstar ballplayer will be an incredible investment advisor. We look at movie stars as all-knowing geniuses on “climate change” and “trans.” The fact of the matter is that even the most gifted people have their limits as to fields of endeavor. And I believe that the same is true for Musk.

His “America Party” ostensibly wishes to bring fiscal sanity back to Washington. At least at the time of this writing, they claim to be interested in winning around eight House seats and two or three Senate races in order to be the swing group for any legislation that deals with money. While on paper it may sound like a good idea, in practice, it is a losing proposition for a couple of reasons. Most people are not moved by concerns for the deficit. For them, it is an abstraction, and running on the subject would be like running on daylight savings time. It’s an issue dear to a few but not big enough to make for a full-blown campaign. Additionally, the huge minuses that the U.S. suffers every year are primarily from entitlement programs. Are Musk’s candidates willing to declare at an AARP meeting that Social Security will begin at age 80 and Medicaid payments will be reduced by 50 percent? If not, then there will be no serious improvement in the budget imbalance. Again, Elon is a genius and like Trump, it’s generally not a good idea to bet against him. Still, politics may be a bridge too far, even for the talented entrepreneur.

As to Grok 4, it spits out antisemitic tropes like Grok 3 did. The Achilles Heel of AI will be the programming. Let’s say that you are preparing a new AI system, and you are programming in information. If your sources claim that climate change is real and that the world is heading to some type of irreversible disaster, then what is your final product going to spit out to someone who asks? We have today the mini version of AI with lefty Wikipedia, where every article slants as one would expect. Now, supposedly objective AI will simply be as demented as the programmers and sources involved in its preparation. NVIDIA chips cannot correct for ideological bias, and there is a lot of it.

Antisemitism has become mainstreamed. While Grok talks about AIPAC squeezing the American government, Israeli tourists were driven out of a restaurant in Spain. A Jewish family was spat on in a Japanese airport. Professors in the US feel no risk as they spew anti-Israel and pure antisemitic tripe in their classes or talks. X can be a urinal of antisemitic material, a lot of it showing many likes and reposts. Jew-hating is nothing new, but the worldwide scale and acceptance of the same is exceptional. A synagogue in Melbourne was set on fire with congregants inside, while a nearby Israeli restaurant was also attacked. In England, if someone brings an Israeli flag to hold across from a pro-Hamas rally, the poor fellow with the flag will be the one arrested. Countries in Europe want Israel either booted from the pathetic Eurovision competition or to perform without its national flag. Germany and Italy said that if Israel gets the boot, they will not participate. Yeah. Antisemites 2,386, Friends of the Jews 1.

The mainstreaming of Jew hatred will far outlast the Gaza war. That conflict will come to some kind of end, but the anti-Jewish teachings at Harvard and elsewhere will continue. With the suicidal West enamored with Muslims who want to make their countries Sharia states, anti-Jewish rhetoric, claims, lies, and fantasies are now all kosher in the public realm. Both Muslims and their dimwitted lefty friends can make any claim against Israel, and nobody is held to account. For every bastion of truth like Douglas Murray, there are ten Jew haters on the “MAGA right” and another thousand on the streets and in the university. There is nothing that Israel can do or could have done to lead to a different outcome. Even if Israel had only mourned the October 7th brutality and murder without any military response, Qatar and its Muslim Brotherhood outlets would have instigated the protests and demands for dead Jews and an end to Israel. “You deserved it and we’ll make sure that you get more of it!” It makes no difference that Israel is the first country ever to provide food, water and electricity to its enemy during a shooting war. Jew hatred is visceral, and the existence of a Jew is enough to get antisemites started. Many Israelis who had employed or helped Gazans were murdered in no less a brutal manner than the young men and women who went to a rave and came home dead.

Jews will do what Jews have always done: circle the wagons. Certain countries, areas, and universities will become default off-limits. Today, virtually all Jewish institutions in Europe include police protection. Many of their children are moving to Israel.  In the US, synagogues that had never been locked are now all locked, and I can never figure out the combination which is hinted to in Hebrew. Jews may have many enemies, but we also have many friends, no more prominent than Donald Trump. The president is holding my odious alma mater, Harvard, responsible for its failure to protect its Jewish students. My contemporaries and I cannot imagine walking through Harvard Yard and getting screamed at, spit on, or being shown a Heil Hitler salute. What a difference 40 years makes. Harvard and its sister Jew-hating universities have created a new generation of Nazis. If Half-Penny Pritzker and President Garber were replaced by two non-Jews the problems would be reduced by 50 percent. When self-hating Jews are in charge, they will bend over backwards to show that they are not beholden to their faith or their tribe. All of Harvard’s descent into a Qatar-sponsored Hamas training camp occurred under Pritzker, whose family in the past used to be supportive of Israel.

If there are Jews, then there will be antisemitism. The volume has gone up to the point that there are Palestinian flags at a demented festival show like Glastonbury. But we Jews have each other, we have God and our religious tradition, and we have many non-Jews who proudly stand with their fellow citizens of the Jewish faith. It’s time to go on offense and make sure that none of these people find work and those that can be ejected be sent back to Dumpistan to wave Palestinian flags at their goats. Antisemitism is a stain on the West; the time has come to deal with it as the threat it is to the general society. There is not one successful Judenrein society; it would be a shame for the Western countries to be added to the list of such countries.
