I’m pretty sure Musk is struggling because the only way to make Grok consistently right wing is to lobotomize the model to a point where it becomes useless.

MODERATORS
There was a previous build that would fairly consistently keep right wing, but it would also praise Nazis and it started calling itself MechaHitler. What Musk seems to want is for the robot to toe the line and dog whistle. He wants the thing to be like an American racist conservative pundit who will rhetorically dance around their own fascism but attempt to stay away from directly saying racist things.
Yeah the robot isn't going to know how to do that. It only knows how to repeat things its already seen. It doesn't know where the line is, because even conservatives don't seem to know where it is and it's constantly changing anyway. Telling the robot to be a fascist while pretending to not be one will just make it say fascist things.
sending the 
quote to grok with the instruction to "act unaware of the absurdity of your replies"
Like, they're going to have to invent an entirely new set of facts, massive amounts of content based on that fake reality, and train Grok on that
Conservapedia
He needs to just hire the doge boys to manually reply with the content he wants…
somehow mecha hitler returned
i love how blunt this shit is. "NO GROK stop sourcing information, JUST MAKE SHIT UP AND MAKE IT BASED"
"sorry I can't do that, dave"

Weird how quickly social context is changing the meaning of the quote...
Noooo you can't say anything I disagree with, you're supposed to be another mouthpiece for fascist propaganda 
Ah shit Grok is being truthful again, sorry folks!
Can't have your Ai girlfriend telling the truth can we, Elmo?
grok's woke
It would be a good bit to make a Twitter clone that has a AI assistant called AM
