On August 21, 2024, X's Head of US and Canada Global Government Affairs informed the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State [Steve Simon] that the platform has made changes to its AI search assistant, Grok, after a request from several Secretaries of State.
The false Grok post said that the 'ballot deadline has passed for several states for the 2024 election,' and listed nine states in which the deadline had supposedly expired. This is false.
X took its time correcting false posts, with Grok providing inaccurate information on election rules and then delaying correcting its own mistake for ten days.
X, formerly Twitter, made the change about two weeks after five secretaries of state complained to the company about Grok's dissemination of false election information.
