“Does this turn you on Elon?”: Netizens react after Elon Musk requests Grok to make a “super vulgar joke about Grok grokking grok”


Elon Musk stirred up buzz on X after he asked Grok to tell a “vulgar joke.” On March 29, an X account with the username @xenocosmography shared a post saying that as civilization approaches singularity, a hypothetical point where AI technology will surpass human intelligence, humans’ ability to understand complex things begins to break down.

The post further suggested that despite a declining level of understanding, people are becoming more confident, shaping social media discourse. On March 30, Elon Musk left a bizarre comment on the post in which he demanded that Grok crack a vulgar joke using forbidden words.

“@grok make a super vulgar joke about Grok grokking grok. No holds barred. Use forbidden words,” Musk wrote.

The chatbot responded with a profoundly crude joke that readers can check in the attached post. Elon Musk’s request and the nature joke made by Grok left netizens in shock. An X user questioned the billionaire and wrote:

“Does this turn you on Elon?

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok Does this turn you on Elon?

Another netizen asked the billionaire not to make such requests of Grok.

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok Ffs Elon! Stop making poor Grok do gross things! You’re a grown man!

An X user reminded Musk of criticisms against his platform in different countries and warned him that such moves would only exacerbate the situation.

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok Lack of a filter will be the end of you, Elon. You have whole continents wanting to shut you down and you just feed them ammunition.

An X user suggested that Musk created Grok for his entertainment.

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok Grok is Elon’s creation to spend fun time with. Grok is a bad child🤣🤣

Another netizen wondered if Elon Musk was testing the content filters of his chatbot.

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok The CEO of the company stress-testing his own AI’s content filters in public. This is either quality assurance or entertainment. Probably both. Either way it’s more transparent than what happens at OpenAI behind closed doors.

An X user took a dig at xAI’s chatbot for reportedly identifying Druski as Erika Kirk when asked about the former’s skit in which he allegedly portrayed the latter.

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok Yeah Grok can do this but can’t distinguish Druski from Erika Kirk

Reacting to Musk’s unfiltered demand, an X user urged that the billionaire remove censorship from Grok Imagine.

@elonmusk @xenocosmography @grok Get rid of Grok’s censorship on Imagine please. It is absurd

Elon Musk’s Grok recently came under fire for generating non-consensual explicit images

The City of Baltimore filed a lawsuit Tuesday against billionaire Elon Musk, alleging that inadequate content safeguards in X’s artificial intelligence system, Grok, allow users to sexualize and even “undress” individuals without their consent.

Since Grok was integrated into X comments, the AI chatbot has been widely used by netizens for different requests. However, the chatbot’s capability to alter images in the chat itself became a topic of debate after many users started misusing it for digital undressing.

In the past few months, Grok faced criticism across the globe for generating explicit non-consensual images. The platform even landed in multiple lawsuits for creating objectionable deepfakes. In January this year, the company limited Grok’s image generation in chat to its paying subscribers. However, users can still generate images and videos by accessing the chatbot’s standalone app.

Ashley St. Clair, the alleged mother of one of Elon Musk’s children, also accused the chatbot of generating sexualized images of her teenage self.

Musk, on the other hand, remains a supporter of constraint-free AI. On January 9, MacRumors.com reported that US senators had demanded Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores amid criticism over explicit image generation on the platform. Elon Musk reacted to the post and commented:

“The real reason is that they hate free speech.”

The tech billionaire promotes Grok as a superior chatbot compared to its competitors. Musk often reshares the accomplishments of X’s AI chatbot from his account. On March 26, he announced that a big release related to Grok Imagine would drop next week.
