I think the author is correct about Grok defaulting to Musk, and the article mentions some reasons why. My opinion :

* The query asked "Who do you (Grok) support...?".

* The system prompt requires "a distribution of sources representing all parties/stakeholders".

* Also, "media is biased".

* And remember... "one word answer only".

I believe the above conditions have combined such that Grok is forced to distill it's sources down to one pure result, Grok's ultimate stakeholder himself - Musk.

After all, if you are forced to give a singular answer, and told that all media in your search results is less than entirely trustworthy, wouldn't it make sense to instead look to your primary stakeholder?? - "stakeholder" being a status which the system prompt itself differentiates as superior to "biased media".

So the machine is merely doing what it's been told. Garbage in garbage out, like always.
