Kind of amazing the author just takes everything at face value and doesn't even consider the possibility that there's a hidden layer of instructions. Elon likes to meddle with Grok whenever the mood strikes him, leading to Grok's sudden interest in Nazi topics such as South African "white genocide" and calling itself MechaHitler. Pretty sure that stuff is not in the instructions Grok will tell the user about.

There is the original prompt, which is normally hidden as it gives you clues on how to make it do things the owners don't want.

Then there is the chain of thought/thinking/whatever you call it, where you can see what its trying to do. That is typically on display, like it is here.

so sure, the prompts are fiddled with all the time, and I'm sure there is an explicit prompt that says "use this tool to make sure you align your responses to what elon musk says" or some shit.
