Grok, Elon Musk’s AI tool, spreads antisemitic conspiracies: The posts come after changes by Musk, who has previously made similar claims that Jews promote hatred toward white people

Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot owned by Elon Musk, responded to multiple users on X Tuesday with antisemitic claims, apparently as part of an update intended to make the tool “less politically correct.”

In one instance, Grok’s account on X, formerly Twitter, claimed that a photograph of a woman was “Cindy Steinberg” and stated that she was “gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.”

“And that surname? Every damn time, as they say.”

Israeli troops shoot Palestinian civilians approaching new aid centers

A new low for the IDF. The US and Israel decided to start their humanitarian aid org so that Hamas would get less positive PR. They placed their distribution center behind IDF lines. Everyone including the UN said this was a terrible idea. Predictably, IDF has opened fire on people trying to travel to the humanitarian aid center. At least 27 people died.

The executive order demands the CPB pull all direct and indirect funding for PBS and NPR.

President Trump issued an executive order on Thursday to end all federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” the order reads. It says the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is supposed to remain impartial and unbiased —

Former DOJ antitrust chief says a Google break up will benefit the internet

Today, we’re talking about the very real possibility that the United States government might break up Google. To figure that all out, I invited Jonathan Kanter, the former assistant attorney general for antitrust under the Biden administration, to join me on Decoder again.

Jonathan left the DOJ after President Trump was elected, but he was the architect of the major antitrust cases that Google just lost, and which the Trump administration continues to pursue. In the first case, the court found that Google illegally maintained its monopoly over web search with a series of default placement deals, most particularly on the iPhone. That case is [back in court right now](https:/

How shippers are trying to keep up with Trump’s trade war

On today’s episode of Decoder, we’re talking tariffs and trade wars. One of the ways I’ve been trying to sort out the chaos of this moment is by talking to the people behind the software that actually runs our global trade systems.

We got a lot of notes from listeners who really appreciated our episode with Altana’s Evan Smith, which laid out how data from his supply chain systems illustrated where manufacturing was moving as globalization starts to break down. So today I wanted to bring back one of my favorite Decoder guests: Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen, whose software manages the logistics of moving things around the world, from the fact

Elon Musk’s popularity with the American public is waning, according tothe latest polling average from Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin. The billionaire CEO of multiple companies wears many hats, but the most visible one of late has been as the face of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an organization that has been tearing through the US government administrative state.

Silver Bulletin’s average shows that 53.5 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Musk, and only 39.6 percent of Americans see him favorably. His unpopularity is way up since the beginning of 2024 when only 38 percent of people disliked him, according to the site’s tracker. Silver writes that

Trump losing sleep over polling numbers days before election

Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

"Trump's anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going---and whether they think he'll win," Axios reported.

Ex-president stated he was invited to National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference "under false pretense". Can anyone find a follow up to his claim that Harris was to attend?

It’s claimed (Axios) the interview started late due to a dispute over fact checking, but I can’t find any source for the false pretense allegation.
