made it tell users about the \u201cwhite genocide\u201d conspiracy theory in South Africa, even when prompted with questions that had nothing to do with the topic\u2026 and soon after, Grok expressed skepticism over the Holocaust death toll, which it chalked up to<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/05\/18\/grok-says-its-skeptical-about-holocaust-death-toll-then-blames-programming-error\/\"

Grok says that Greene is a Christian who has expressed her belief in Jesus, but concedes that some Christians are troubled by her support for conspiracy theories like QAnon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCritics, including religious leaders, argue her actions contradict Christian values of love and unity, citing her defense of January 6 and divisive rhetoric,\u201d Grok wrote in the screenshot Greene shared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">X was already having a particularly challenging day \u2014 the app has been <a
