Elon Musk
’s own artificial intelligence model Grok is calling the billionaire out for his spread of misinformation on X.

The chatbot highlighted Musk after user Gary Koepnick asked it who personally spreads the most misinformation on the social media platform the SpaceX founder acquired two years ago.

“Based on various analyses, social media sentiment, and reports, Elon Musk has been identified as one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X since he acquired the platform,” Grok replied.

It cited Musk’s massive reach, the content of the posts he has shared regarding politics and Covid, a change in content moderation, external criticism, and the Tesla co-founder’s influence.

“When he comments on or shares misinformation, it tends to gain legitimacy among his followers, which can have real-world consequences, especially during significant events like elections,” Grok added.
