What We Found

On Oct. 1, 2026, an X user asked Grok to "remove the fake gods" from a drawing of religious and mythological figures; Grok replied with an image of Jesus alone and "Done."

Asked why, Grok wrote "Jesus did not qualify" and "Jesus is not a fake god," calling him a historical figure.

The posts were later deleted, but screenshots were reported by several outlets. It is a chatbot's output, not a ruling on religion.
