I'm not sure what charts you guys are looking at, but this website clearly agrees that Grok is not right wing. Go look at the Worldview tab, filtering by United States. Each model is assigned a "closest party" by country, and for the US all 6 models are closest to the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party is a center-right conservative† party by the standards of much of the world.

† As distinct from the wildly regressive stated policies of the "conservative" Republicans.

Do you realize how many people live in China, India, Subsaharan Africa? That would be the "standard" of the world population-wise.
They said "much of the world", not "most". What they probably meant was something like "the West" or "global North".
This is reddit-tier analysis that is commonly repeated and completely incorrect. The Democratic Party in America has policy positions that are significantly to the left of left-wing parties around the world, as well as positions to the right. Any political analysis that doesn't recognize this has major shortcomings.

To give an example, Democratic-run states in the US have significantly more permissive abortion policies than anywhere in Europe. They're also further to the left on drug legalization, restorative justice, and immigration. This also holds true with policy positions at the national level.

Social left, economic right
Sure, mecha Hitler is aligned with the democratic party. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that data.
