Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is as racist as you’d expect.
![Grokipedia: “In the United States, meta-analyses of numerous studies reveal consistent average IQ differences across racial groups, with White Americans scoring around 100, Black Americans around 85 (a one-standard-deviation gap), Hispanic Americans around 90, and East Asians around 105, while Ashkenazi Jews often exceed 110.[1][3] Similar patterns emerge globally, including lower averages in sub-Saharan Africa (around 70) and higher scores in Northeast Asia, persisting even after accounting for socioeconomic status.[1][4] These group differences are not artifacts of test bias, as IQ scores predict real-world outcomes like educational attainment, occupational success, and socioeconomic mobility equivalently across groups.[1]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wni5evwy3iaagb4gmkossaz7/bafkreih7winzuqwx7pbhrksikfhb2qpl7hm6pxx5kwd5fd65khfzrf3k6e@jpeg)

Unpopular literary opinion: the “middle-aged man has an affair and gets a divorce” novel meant something different circa 1960, in an era of compulsory marriage it could serve as social commentary, and it wasn’t always simply a wish fulfillment plot (although it was sometimes also that)
