Linda Yaccarino has been praising Elon Musk's latest project, the "rebellious" AI chatbot Grok.

Musk posted on X to share some more of Grok's responses to users, this time the bot's creative answer to the question of how babies were made. The response included a reference to "a magical process called 'f*cking'" and a "special hug called 'baby-making.'"

Despite the potentially inappropriate language, X CEO Yaccarino was enthusiastic about the bot's educational potential.

"I wish I knew Grok during the Birds and the Bees talk with my kids!" she said in response to the screenshot. Yaccarino, who is married and has two children who reside in Sea Cliff, New York.

Yaccarino has historically been supportive of Musk, who hired her to be CEO of X.

During a disastrous interview at Code Conference in September, Yaccarino defended Musk's leadership and said the pair talked "about everything."

At one point, she rhetorically asked the audience: "Who wouldn't want Elon Musk sitting by their side running product?" The question prompted chuckles and a few raised hands from the crowd.

Yaccarino has had a notoriously tough job as CEO of X.

Musk's chaotic acquisition and management of the social-media platform left the company with 50% less staff, a new verification system, and a controversial rebrand.

Advertisers have also fled amid fears over rising disinformation and hate speech.

Representatives for Yaccarino did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment with a statement that addressed the question.
