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?

Exactly - assuming the system prompt it reports is accurate or that there isn't other layers of manipulation is so ignorant. Grok as a whole could be going through a middle AI to hide aspects, or as you mention the whole model could be tainted. Either way, it's perfectly demonstrated in the blog that Grok's opinions are based on a bias, there's no other way around it.
