Elon Musk has spoken out about the bill multiple times, often alongside his claims that a "white genocide" is taking place in South Africa, usually in reference to farm murders and the political rhetoric of Julius Malema, the head of a left-wing political party the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, says an “unauthorized modification” led its Grok chatbot to post unsolicited claims on social media about the persecution and “genocide” of white people in South Africa.

Some X users on Wednesday asked Grok – the AI chatbot available through Elon Musk’s social media platform – questions about simple topics like baseball players or videos of fish being flushed down toilets.
