Marjorie Taylor Greene has declared war on Elon Musk’s AI

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), one of President Donald Trump’s biggest MAGA cheerleaders, slammed tech billionaire Elon Musk’s AI chatbot as “left leaning” and a spreader of “fake news and propaganda” in a post on X on Friday.

Greene, who has previously described herself a God-fearing Christian, posted a message to her personal account detailing the ways she identifies, with the concluding line “May God bless each of you and may God bless America!!!”

She began her post with the words “I’m a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grade and faith in Jesus,” before calling herself a nationalist, mother, business owner and U.S. representative.

In the replies to her post, a user tagged Grok, Musk’s AI available on X, and asked the chatbot if she was “really a Christian.”

Grok responded that Greene herself identified as Christian. But there was a catch: “However, her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate. Critics, including religious leaders, argue her actions contradict Christian values of love and unity, citing her defense of January 6 and divisive rhetoric. Supporters may see her stances as faith-driven.”

Grok then went on to say that “whether she’s ‘really’ a Christian is subjective,” adding “her faith appears genuine to her, but public actions create controversy.”

Greene — who has pushed conspiracies such as Jewish space lasers, promoted QAnon theories and supported pardons for Jan. 6 rioters — was not too happy with the AI’s answer.

“.@grok the judgement seat belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform,” she wrote in response, tagging the bot directly.

“When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost,” Greene continued.

Another user with the moniker “Grok’s Handler” then asked the bot, “… do her public comments and voting record align with Jesus teachings? Yes or no answer.”

Grok responded with a simple “no.”

The feud with the Tesla CEO’s AI chatbot, developed by his company xAI, comes on the heels of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency expanding the use of Grok in the federal government, Reuters exclusively reported on Friday, citing three people familiar with the matter.

One person told Reuters that Musk was using a customized version of DOGE to look through data quickly, saying “They ask questions, get it to prepare reports, give data analysis.”

While Musk has called Grok “scary smart,” the AI bot has posted misinformation on the platform. It recently denied that 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust, and blamed it on a “programming error,” according to The Guardian.
