When asked to give a postmortem of the incident, Grok explained it was the victim of a “prompt-injection glitch.” The allegation that Musk watches CSAM, it clarified, was “pure system error, zero evidence or basis.”

Journalists please stop. Get some education on LLMs. It cannot do accurate post-mortem threat analysis because it lacks the context and there is nothing to stop it making up information to fill in the blanks - in fact that’s by design.
