Grok skewing right wing yesterday and becoming "MechaHitler" and being racist/sexist with violent rape fantasies is the most on point thing I've seen in a decade.

I'm surprised he didn't say "They had a great depression, and we can make it great again. We're gonna have an even greater depression. They say it'll be the greatest depression in our country's history."
'Who is this guy?' Insiders describe chaos as Pete Hegseth aide goes rogue
Donald Trump's Pentagon is in disarray as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's top policy chief has gone rogue, blindsiding White House officials and foreign allies with unauthorized foreign policy decisions that have sent shockwaves through the administration, a report claimed Wednesday.
Elbridge Colby, the 45-year-old Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, has been operating like a loose cannon, making unilateral moves that have left senior officials scrambling and allies questioning America's reliability under Trump's leadership, Politico wrote.
The most explosive incident came when Colby secretly pushed through a proposal that led Hegseth to pause military aid to Ukraine without alerting the White House. The move caught the entire administration off guard and was so damaging that Trump himself had to publicly reverse it, admitting the U.S. would continue sending defensive weapons to Ukraine.
"Putin is not treating human beings right. He's killing too many people," Trump was forced to concede, highlighting the embarrassing policy reversal.
But Ukraine was just the beginning. Colby also stunned State Department and National Security Council officials by launching a surprise review of the critical AUKUS submarine partnership with Australia and the UK. The unauthorized move prompted one furious State Department official to ask: "Who is this f----ing guy?"
Multiple sources describe Colby as an administration pariah who's "p----ing off just about everyone" with his neo-isolationist agenda. One insider revealed that colleagues view him as "the guy who's going to make the U.S. do less in the world in general."

Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration
Thirteen former employees of influential data-mining firm Palantir are condemning the company's work with the Trump administration weeks after Immigration and Customs Enforcement reached a deal to pay Palantir $30 million to provide the agency with "near real-time visibility" into the movement of migrants in the U.S.
In a letter shared exclusively with NPR, the ex-Palantir workers, former software engineers, managers and an employee who worked with the firm's privacy and civil liberties team, say when they joined the powerful tech company, they believed in its code of conduct stating that its software should protect the vulnerable and ensure the responsible development of artificial intelligence.
"Early Palantirians understood the ethical weight of building these technologies," the thirteen former employees wrote in the letter. "These principles have now been violated, and are rapidly being dismantled at Palantir Technologies and across Silicon Valley."
Palantir and the White House did not return requests for comment.
Palantir, co-founded by Trump ally billionaire Peter Thiel, offers data-analyzing software that uses AI to pull information from a multitude of sources and compiles it into charts, tables and heat maps. Its ability to disentangle complex datasets has made its platforms popular with law enforcement and the military.
Palantir's customers include the Israel Defense Forces, the U.S. Department of Defense and dozens of large corporations. Now, its surveillance tools are being deployed by the Trump administration to help speed up the president's goal of deporting 1 million migrants this year. Since Trump was elected, Palantir's share price has surged more than 200%.
