I think it is possible that a developer, with or without Elon's direct instruction, decided to engineer Grok to search for Elon's tweets on controversial subjects and then either out of incompetence or malicious compliance set it up so those searches would be exposed in the UI.

I also think it is possible that nobody specifically designed that behavior, and it instead emerged from the way the model was trained.

My current intuition is that the second is more likely than the first.
