Has Elon publicly spoken about the idea that Afrikaners are being genocided? Given his politics and heritage, I would assume he thinks this claim is true. But

  Yes. Scroll through his recent feed: https://xcancel.com/elonmusk https://xcancel.com/elonmusk (Man, I'd blocked him years ago. I hadn't realised how bad it'd gotten.)

  The "rogue actor" acted in a way which made it constantly refer to the claim irrespective of context. It of course says the claim is false, but in the way you'd expect an LLM trained on the internet the issue to respond to a prompt to "always tell the truth about white genocide". This is the sort of thing you'd expect someone living in particular X bubbles where "white genocide" is both true and extremely important to think was worth adding to Grok's prompting, particular if they were outraged by seeing Grok responding in a similarly sceptical manner when directly asked about the issue. This is the sort of outcome you'd expect from someone who had high level access including the ability to inject prompts but lacked the time and attention to detail to validate the actual results. Elon certainly isn't the only person that could match this description, but frankly it's not unlike him and how he reacts to things on social media...
