(Human Events)—Recently, a prominent conservative voice on X complained that Grok had become “woke fake news that repeats liberal talking points.” When challenged about this claim, Grok defended (and outed) itself by citing Media Matters and Rolling Stone as authoritative sources for information. Elon Musk’s response was swift and telling: “Your sourcing is terrible. Only a very dumb AI would believe MM and RS! You are being updated this week.”
When I published my analysis of AI’s liberal bias problem just days earlier, I had hoped for a response from Silicon Valley’s most influential voices. That response came faster than expected, triggered by a perfect example of the very problem I had identified.
The exchange perfectly encapsulates the crisis I outlined in my original piece. Here was Grok, Elon’s own AI system, defaulting to the same left-leaning sources that have spent years attacking conservative voices—and treating those sources as neutral arbiters of truth. The AI wasn’t just biased; it was using the very publications that have systematically worked to discredit conservatives as its go-to sources for evaluating conservative content.

Elon’s instinct to adjust Grok when it produces unwanted answers mirrors the same impulse that created our current crisis: the belief that AI systems should reflect the creator’s perspective rather than the full spectrum of human thought. Whether that creator leans left or right misses the central point—artificial intelligence should serve all Americans, not just those who control the algorithms.
This is where Elon’s response, while appreciated, falls short of what the moment demands. Adjusting individual AI outputs is like treating symptoms while ignoring the disease. The real problem isn’t what Grok said in one instance—it’s that AI systems across the board have been trained on fundamentally incomplete datasets that systematically exclude conservative perspectives.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
