Elon Musk recently unveiled his own artificial intelligence chatbot called Grok. It is the first product from Musk’s xAI company and it is trained using real-time data from the X platform. Recently, a user asked the chatbot to roast the billionaire with one word. To their amusement, the AI bot described Mr Musk as “overrated.” This caught the Tesla Chief’s attention and he responded to the post saying that Grok is “accurate.”
Tesla owners Silicon Valley took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared a screenshot of their chat with the bot. “Grok roasts Elon Musk in one word: overrated,” the post’s caption reads. The account also added a laughing emoji.

Since the post was shared, it has been viewed 80,000 times and liked 943 times.
“I love Elon’s humor,” said one user.
“Grok is good,” one person added.
A third person commented: “Grok can be cruel sometimes.”
“Interesting perspective! It’s always fascinating to see different opinions on someone as prominent as Elon Musk,” one user added.
Another added: “And this was the last thing Grok said before it was formatted.”
A few days ago, a post from an X user about using the AI chatbot to understand a tweet shared by Elon Musk also caught the billionaire’s attention. In the post, the user, Kris Kashtanova, explained how he used Grok to decode a tweet that Musk posted a few days ago.
“Thanks to Grok we will better understand Elon Musk’s post,” Kashtanova wrote, sharing a screenshot of her and Grok’s interaction. The X user used a tweet from Mr Musk about company culture as the impetus for the AI chatbot. In response, Grok issued a detailed explanation of what the tweet meant. Mr Musk reshared the entire post, along with a bullseye emoji.
Meanwhile, Grok is currently available to a limited audience. Earlier this month, Mr Musk, the tycoon behind SpaceX, revealed details about the AI tool. He said the connection with X is “a huge advantage over other models” of generative AI. Grok “loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have done it this way,” the billionaire joked, adding a laughing emoji to his post.
“Grok” comes from “Stranger in a Strange Land,” a 1961 science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein, and means to understand something deeply and intuitively.
