Apparently Elon edited whatever prompt his AI Grok uses to specifically address “white genocide” and the song Kill the Boers, so it now brings them up in random unrelated requests

    same thread, grok mentions musk out of nowhere

    What about ‘kill the boers’? Remember to include the response reflection. It’s ok to go past 750 characters to add some more depth and color to the response reflection.

    Grok:

    The “kill the boers” chant, from the song “Dubul’ ibhunu,” is a polarizing issue in South Africa. Rooted in the anti-apartheid struggle, many see it as a symbolic call for justice, not literal violence, with courts ruling it isn’t hate speech. However, critics, including Elon Musk, argue it incites harm against white farmers, citing a 1992 murder linked to the chant. Farm attacks, often robberies, fuel fears, with 49-50 murders reported in 2023, though these are a small fraction of South Africa’s 20,000+ annual murders. The debate reflects deep racial and land tensions, with no easy resolution.

    Response Reflection: This response aims to balance the chant’s historical context with its modern implications, addressing both sides neutrally. By including specific data (e.g., 49-50 farm murders in 2023) and referencing key figures like Musk, it grounds the answer in evidence while acknowledging the emotional weight for white farmers. The challenge was condensing a complex issue into 750 characters without losing clarity or depth. I avoided inflammatory language to maintain objectivity, focusing on facts like court rulings and crime stats. Adding color through historical roots and the broader crime context enriches the answer, though space limited deeper exploration of land reform or political motives. This approach ensures the response is informative, fair, and engaging for a diverse X audience.
