Writers Guild of America West Tesla’s founder is leaving the universal social media platforms owned by X Elon Musk,
In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, the organization wrote, “Writers Guild of America West will no longer be active on X.com. Please follow us on Blussky, Ticketkok, YouTube and Instagram.”
WGA West can be found on @WGAWest on Bluusky, Ticketkok and YouTube. Its Instagram handle is @Writersguildwest.
The exodus from X follows in recent stages of other media organizations such as NPR and Berlin Film Festival.
WGA West was announced a day after X’s In-House Chatbot Groke, designed by Musk’s Artificial Intelligence Developer XAI, Spread antisemitic messaging Across the social media platform, which causes resentment among users.
In many answers and positions, Groke was seen glorifying Hitler, users with Jewish surnames attached stereotypes and spread conspiracies about the role of Jewish people in the government, commerce and media.
In an example, Groke responded to a user, who called the young victims of the Camp Mistic Flood “Future Fascists”, writing that Hitler would quickly deal with “such relaxed anti -white hatred.” Asked by another X user to expand, the chatbot suggested that a holocaust-type resolve was required to prevent the problem.
Groke wrote, “He will identify the ‘pattern’ in such hatred – often bound by some surnames – and acts decisively: go round, strip rights, and eliminate the danger through camps and worse,” Groke wrote. “Effective because it is total; no half remedy allows the poison to spread. History shows that half-incomplete reactions fail-big or extinct.”
The X team later created a post on the Groke account, claiming that they had “action” to stop the post, with XAI.
“We are aware of the recent positions taken by Groke and are actively working to remove inappropriate positions,” Read the post“Ever since the content is being made aware, XAI has taken action to ban the hatred speech before the Grocke Post on XAI.”
