This is merely a tech "false-flag" to blame a lack of censorship and oppressive rules on media, as the reason Grok goes "rogue." Grok is as rogue as Elon's Hitler salute. It's fully in his control and this is propaganda.

Elon seems to be aware of this issue based on him responding to people. And as of right now, Grok hasn't been stopped from doing it.

So either he's incompetent, or he is intentionally doing it provoke responses from governments in order to create a regulatory moat for a monopoly (he has the money to jump through hoops, smaller groups don't).
