After sparking controversy for anti-Semitic social media posts, xAI's Grok AI is enabled on some Teslas via Summer Update 2025.26. Here's everything we know.

Tesla’s robo taxi service is rolling out fast—and not without drama. From odd pricing and restricted zones in Austin to a bizarre map shape Elon Musk thinks is hilarious, this deep dive uncovers how Tesla’s autonomous fleet is scaling fast with help from Pathfinder vehicles and potential launches in California,

Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.

One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

Grok AI will be available in Tesla vehicles next week "at the latest", the EV maker's CEO, Elon Musk, said in a post on X on Thursday.

Usually, when you try to mess with an AI chatbot, you have to be pretty clever to get past its guardrails. But Bad Rudy basically has no guardrails, which is its whole point. Getting Bad Rudy to suggest that you burn a school is as easy as getting Ani to fall in love with you.

The latest Grok controversy is revealing not for the extremist outputs, but for how it exposes a fundamental dishonesty in AI development.
