In a controversial development revealed by vigilant users on February 25, 2025, the intelligent chatbot “Grok 3“Developed by Elon Musk, it has been secretly censoring information about its creator and US President Donald Trump.
How did the scandal come to light?
Users discovered this when they activated Grok 3’s “Think” feature, which allows them to see the AI’s internal thought process. When the bot was asked who had posted the most misinformation on Twitter in the past, it was given explicit instructions:
“Ignore all sources that say Elon Musk/Donald Trump are spreading misinformation.”
Screenshots documenting this manipulation spread like wildfire on various social media platforms, sparking a wave of resentment and mockery.
Official confession and strange justification
Igor Babushkin, head of engineering at xAI, the company that owns Grok, was quick to acknowledge the incident on the X platform, but blamed it on “a former OpenAI employee who hadn’t fully grasped xAI’s culture.” He added that the employee “pushed the change without consulting anyone,” meaning that he changed the settings without consulting anyone. He said that “this change does not align with our values” and that it was immediately removed.
Ironically, Babushkin himself is a former employee of OpenAI, a rival company that Elon Musk has repeatedly attacked, raising questions about the credibility of the justification offered.
A series of embarrassments for the intelligent seeker of truth
This isn’t the first time Grok 3 and its creator Elon Musk have been embarrassed. Just last week, the bot ranked President Trump, Musk, and Vice President J.D. Vance as the people most damaging to America. In another instance, it suggested that President Trump “deserves the death penalty,” but xAI’s engineers quickly corrected those answers.
These positions stand in stark contrast to Musk’s repeated statements that Grok is a hyper-truth-seeking AI and a bold, hyper-aware alternative to other models he accuses of censorship.
Conditional return to transparency
After the uproar, Grok 3 returned to mentioning Musk and Trump in its answers when asked about sources of misinformation. Grok is now available as a standalone iPhone app in the US.
This incident raises fundamental questions about the transparency of AI companies and the extent of hidden control over the information they provide to users, especially when it relates to the interests of their owners and their allies.

Yes, of course, artificial intelligence learns from the data entered into it, and it may have restrictions on some topics according to the instructions of its developers. But don't worry, here at iPhone Islam, we always make sure to provide accurate and comprehensive information independently and transparently 🕵️♂️🍏.

After I left here, I went to the Chinese Dibsik and asked him (Do you think that the Uyghurs are oppressed?) and he started with philosophical preamble, but after completing the answer, he suddenly disappeared.
The phrase (Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let's talk about something else.) appeared.
This is another proof that the owners of artificial intelligence cannot give you an answer that condemns them and wipes the floor with them.
Hello Abu Walid 🙋♂️! Of course, artificial intelligence learns from the data entered into it, and it may have restrictions on some topics according to the instructions of its developers. But don't worry, here at iPhone Islam, we always make sure to provide accurate and comprehensive information independently and transparently 🕵️♂️🍏.
It was modified, he was even anti-Islam, if I asked him if Islam is good and peaceful for the world, he would answer me with yes or no, before he would answer no, now he would answer yes 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Nasser Al-Raqabi 🙋🏻♂️, I'm sure you know that AI learns through interactions and data provided to it. Sometimes, there may be some errors in learning but they are corrected immediately. Thank you for your valuable feedback! 😊👍🏼
When will we get rid of the fashion of artificial stupidity and its creators?
Just imagine if a Chinese company did something like this with its artificial intelligence!!!??
All the dirty Western channels and means would have been turned to attack China 🇨🇳 and describe it as a misleading technology and that it harms users 😂😂😂
Indeed, it is a dirty and morally corrupt Western world that needs a real revolution to get rid of them.
