> xAI released Grok 4 about a day after removing inappropriate posts by the chatbot on X, including antisemitic comments and replies to users. “Since being made aware of the content, xAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X,” the company posted.

(I'm going to highly anthropomorphize Grok here because I'm not sure of the right terms for what these systems actually do)

It sounds like they haven't taught Grok not to think hateful things. They've only taught it to not actually say those things in public. If that's the case wouldn't it mean that its answers would still be based on its antisemitic beliefs and so still might be highly biased against Jews?
