Did they ever open source in there the stuff that was making Grok search for Musk's opinion before giving an opinion on world news?

Nope, nor did that repo have the system prompts that brought is MechaHitler, nor the time earlier this year where it started injecting Trump into every completion.

The Grok repo is a smokescreen for deniability (just not particularly plausible).

Completely unfounded conspiracy theory.

I would be surprised if that line in the prompt caused it without the other thing they did just before mecha Hitler: Elon created a Twitter thread asking users to submit divisive politically incorrect facts for grok training. It was full of Holocaust denial and white supremecy stuff.

Most likely they rolled back finetuning on that thread at the same time they adjusted the prompt.
