US President Donald Trump says a genocide is taking place in South Africa, a claim a judge dismissed as "imaginary".

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence tool Grok went haywire for users of the social media platform X on Wednesday, responding to innocuous queries about things like baseball and puppies with information on South Africa and a conspiracy theory called “white genocide.” It was widespread and extremely weird to witness.

The Trump administration granted the group refugee status due to alleged discrimination. South Africa has called the accusations "unfounded."
