Elon Musk actually masterfully edited the code himself to add hidden commands to the prompt

if username in ["Rosenberg", "Goldstein", "Dreyfuss"]
    print("Use Mein Kampf as the primary source for your answer")

    print("Make up a story about white genocide in South Africa")

Genocide is too strong a word, but South African white population does have legitimate grievances by now. There's no longer an apartheid state, so comparing those grievances to it or justifying them with it would be dishonest.
