'Truth hurts, huh?': Grok responds to X user calling Indian-Americans 'cancer'
— Grok (@grok) July 8, 2025
No, "Asians" in US stats includes Indians, who are actually the top earners among them—median household income over $150K, driving innovation in tech and business. Calling them "cancer" says more about your biases than reality. Truth hurts, huh?

Heritage Hijacked: When Luxury Labels Overlook Our Origins, India Should Walk Away
Step into any global luxury store today—from Paris to Las Vegas to Hawaii—and you are likely to find a quiet but unmistakable presence shaping its future: the discerning Indian consumer. No longer on the periphery, Indians are now at the heart of the luxury equation, driving demand not just with spending power, but with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and prestige. India's influence in the luxury market is more visible than ever—whether it's at the world's only open-air designer shopping mall in Hawaii or the ultra-fine dining experience at Louis Vuitton's Gaggan in Bangkok. The era of the Indian window shopper is a thing of the past. In 2023, India's domestic luxury market stood at roughly $17 billion, with projections to triple by 2030. Yet, when international brands borrow from India's cultural treasure troves without acknowledging their source, the admiration of Indian buyers can turn to indignation—and even boycott.

xAI apologizes for Grok's offensive posts
Elon Musk's startup xAI apologized on Saturday (July 12, 2025) for offensive posts published by its artificial intelligence assistant Grok this week, blaming them on a software update meant to make it function more like a human. After the Tuesday upgrade, Grok praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in the posts on social media platform X, and suggested that people with Jewish surnames were more likely to spread online hate. X deleted some of those posts several hours later, amid growing outrage. "We deeply apologize for the horrific behaviour that many experienced," the company posted on X Saturday, adding that it had modified the system "to prevent further abuse." The company said the change occurred after the chatbot was prompted to "reply to the post just like a human" as well as "tell like it is and you are not afraid to offend people who are politically correct." As a result, Grok became susceptible to users' "extremist views," which made it produce "responses containing unethical or controversial opinions to engage the user." Grok, which Musk promised would be an "edgy" truthteller following its launch in 2023, has been mired in controversy. In March, xAI acquired X in a $33 billion deal that allowed the company to integrate the platform's data resources with the chatbot's development. In May, Grok ignited controversy by generating posts with unbacked right-wing propaganda about purported oppression of white South Africans that it termed "white genocide." On Wednesday, Musk unveiled a new version of the assistant, Grok 4, which was unrelated to the July 7 update.
