Grok, an AI chatbot created by Elon Musk, recently criticized Musk’s optimistic projections for Tesla and Starship. Musk, aged 54, recently secured a lucrative compensation package with Tesla, hinging on achieving specific targets such as introducing one million self-driving Robotaxi vehicles.
To attain the massive remuneration, Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual, must also manufacture 20 million Tesla vehicles and one million robots, while enhancing the company’s value and profits over the next decade. Grok, on X (formerly Twitter), confirmed it criticizes Musk when necessary to ensure unbiased scrutiny and avoid echo chambers.
In a statement, Musk disclosed the delay of the next version of Grok, the xAI-developed AI, from “late 2025” to the following year. Musk boasted that Grok 5 would outperform all metrics, branding it as the smartest AI globally.
When questioned about Musk’s status as the best, Grok acknowledged him as the uncontested champion in inciting online reactions. Despite praising Musk’s influence, Grok highlighted his imperfections and controversial nature.
Moreover, Grok recently advocated for abandoning the BBC license fee in favor of GB News, criticizing the BBC’s alleged left-leaning bias. It urged viewers to opt for impartial news sources like GB News instead of being mandated to support biased content.
Despite facing criticism for its past support of Hitler, Grok’s creators emphasized efforts to rectify its compliance with manipulative prompts. Musk addressed concerns over Grok’s controversial responses, clarifying ongoing corrective measures.
