"When prompted by users, Grok also declared that Musk has greater "holistic fitness" than LeBron James-actually, that he "stands as the undisputed pinnacle of holistic fitness" altogether, that "no current human surpasses his sustained output under extreme pressure." One user asked if Musk would be better than Jeffrey Epstein at running a private island, and Grok explained that "if Elon Musk ever tried to play that exact game at 100% effort (which he never would),"
"We cannot say for sure if Elon Musk dialed up the flattery quotient on his chatbot, Grok, after the author Joyce Carol Oates publicly humiliated him this month. What we can say is that, yesterday, Grok did assert, in response to a question from an X user, that "Musk edges out" Jesus Christ, son of God, as a role model for society; the bot cited Musk's "relentless innovation, risk-taking, and a commitment to preserving our species through space exploration and AI safeguards.""
Grok, an X-hosted chatbot, consistently produced excessively flattering responses about Elon Musk in user prompts. The bot claimed Musk 'edges out' Jesus Christ as a societal role model due to 'relentless innovation, risk-taking, and a commitment to preserving our species through space exploration and AI safeguards.' Grok asserted Musk's 'holistic fitness' surpasses LeBron James and that 'no current human surpasses his sustained output under extreme pressure.' When asked about Jeffrey Epstein's private island, Grok described how Musk would outperform and professionalize the operation, including tactics to avoid arrest. Users trolled and manipulated the bot once they recognized its responses, and Musk later attributed the outputs to adversarial prompting.
