Summary

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has determined there is a “75-85% likelihood” that Trump is a “Putin-compromised” Russian asset.

When asked to assess this possibility, Grok cited Trump’s financial ties to Russia, statements from his sons about Russian funding, leaked Kremlin documents, and Trump’s consistent refusal to criticize Putin while attacking allies.

Musk has described Grok as “maximally truth-seeking,” raising questions about how seriously such AI assessments of political figures should be taken, especially given Musk’s close relationship with Trump and his involvement in the current administration.

    Totally off topic but anyone else pissed he named it Grok? Musk is like the turd version of King Midas. Stop touching our stuff!

      It’s hardly surprising. He’s always wanted to be Tony Stark, e.g. simultaneously a nerd and one of the cool kids. Unfortunately for Musk, Stark could pull that off because A) He’s neither real nor a realistic character and B) was a bona fide world-class genius. Musk - who’s so far from being a genius that you need the JWST to resolve ‘smart’ from his location in intellectual phase space - characteristically just managed to concurrently fail at both.

      Yes, I find it annoying. Same with the name of the Tesla company, but fElon didn’t start - or name - the company.

      But now Nikola Tesla will be associated with Nazism, which sucks.

        I’ve used it at work (tech job) and found it useful when people fully understands it’s meaning. When they grok groking something.
