Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) fired back at Grok, Elon Musk’s AI bot on X, after it questioned her faith.
The clash began early on Friday after Greene called herself a “Christian, an imperfect sinner” and a “nationalist.”
“I’m a mother, thankful for the blessings and responsibility God gave me with my children. I’m a business owner, humbled and grateful to be able to work as hard as humanly possible in the greatest country in the world to be successful, where nothing is given and all is earned,” she continued. “I’m a Representative, elected to serve the greatest people from the greatest district on the greatest country on Earth! May God bless each of you and may God bless America!!!”
Greene is one of the most divisive members of Congress and a staunch ally of Donald Trump with a history of spreading lies and misinformation about a range of topics from natural disasters to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Greene’s post led one user to summon Grok, asking the chatbot if the lawmaker is “really a Christian.”
Grok responded by saying that while Greene “identifies as a Christian” by expressing her faith God, “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,” Grok continued. “Supporters may see her stances as faith-driven. Whether she’s ‘really’ a Christian is subjective, depending on personal and theological views. Her faith appears genuine to her, but public actions create controversy.”
Another user asked Grok if Greene’s “public comments and voting record align with Jesus teachings?”
Grok’s response was a succinct, “no”.
Greene fired back calling Grok “left leaning” and warning against the dangers of AI.
“The judgement seat belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform,” Greene wrote. “Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda. When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost.”
