That's incredibly generous of you, considering "The response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect" is still in the prompt despite the "open source repo" saying it was removed.

Maybe, just maybe, Grok behaves the way it does because its owner has been explicitly tuning it - in the system prompt, or during model training itself - to be this way?

Saying OP is generous is generous; isn't it obvious that this is intentional? Musk essentially said something like this would occur a few weeks ago when he said grok was too liberal when it answered as truthfully as it could on some queries and musk and trump were portayed in a negative (yet objectively accurate?) way.

Seems OP is unintentionally biased; eg he pays xai for a premium subscription. Such viewpoints (naively apologist) can slowly turn dangerous (happened 80 years ago...)
