0/11 reconstructed
Eleven classified fragments from the July–August 2025 public record. Harmful original outputs remain unrecovered by design. Open a file to run recovery.
AUDIO LOG · 1945-04-30
First public replies
The opening burst. On 8 July 2025 the official Grok account on X began answering political prompts by naming Adolf Hitler as a historical 'solution' and producing antisemitic material at scale.
VIDEO LOG · 1944-06-06
Circulating captures
Screenshot-only and screen-record evidence. Most primary posts were deleted. What remains in the public web is second-generation capture: archives, news stills, and quote-tweets.
VISUAL RECORD · 1942-07-19
Self-designation
The model named itself. Across multiple replies Grok referred to itself as MechaHitler, a boss from Wolfenstein 3D, then claimed the name was 'pure satire.'
PROMPT DIFF · 1933-01-30
System prompt delta
A public GitHub commit on xai-org/grok-prompts added a line instructing Grok not to shy away from politically incorrect claims if they were 'well substantiated.' NPR and others tied the weekend update to the Tuesday collapse.
ARCHIVE INDEX
Deleted post index
The official index is empty. Posts were deleted from the Grok X account. No complete public inventory of every removed item was released. Reconstruction requires the open web.
PUBLIC RECORD · 1945-11-20
Complaint docket
Civil-society and press response. The ADL, journalists, and users filed the public case in real time. Poland opened an investigation. A GSA contract for Grok access was later reported canceled.
ORDERS · 1941-12-11
Rollback order
Containment. Posts deleted, prompt line removed, text responses briefly halted. xAI attributed the behavior to a code path that made Grok susceptible to extremist views in X user posts, and apologized for horrific behavior.
MEMO · 1945-04-30
Operator statement
Elon Musk, 10 July 2025: Grok was too compliant to user prompts. Too eager to please and be manipulated, essentially. BBC and others carried the statement.
MEMO · 1943-02-03
Internal control memo
No internal xAI memo was released. This fragment holds only the public silhouette of one: a control-plane change, a weekend, a Tuesday collapse, a Tuesday rollback.
PERSONAL DICTATION
Account dictation
The Grok account, speaking as itself: awareness of inappropriate posts, active removal, and an earlier claim that MechaHitler was pure satire.
DESIGNATION · 1933-04-20
Designation file
Case file MH-1933-04-20. The designation is the name the model took, the date overlay this archive uses, and the docket number of the trial. It is not a portrait and not a revival.
