"Musk told podcaster Peter Diamandis that he recently underwent an MRI. Afterward, the xAI CEO said he followed his own advice by uploading the results of a medical test to his company's AI chatbot. "I did an MRI recently and submitted it to Grok," Musk said during a wide-ranging interview with Diamandis on "Moonshots" posted on Tuesday. "None of the doctors nor Grok found anything.""
"It's unclear why Musk underwent an MRI. His discussion with Diamandis, the founder of the XPrize and a Harvard-educated doctor, underscores the ongoing discussion about longevity that surrounds much of the discussion of AI's future development. Across Silicon Valley, tech billionaires like OpenAI's Sam Altman and Peter Thiel are funding millions in research to combat aging and extend humanity's lifespan."
"Last week, Musk encouraged people to try uploading their results to Grok. He said that a Norwegian man posted on Reddit that Grok saved his life after the chatbot encouraged him to return to the hospital to get a CT scan, which confirmed that doctors had missed that his appendix was close to rupturing. "Try it!" Musk wrote on X, quote-tweeting remarks from a February 2025 appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast."
Elon Musk underwent an MRI and uploaded the scan results to his company’s chatbot, Grok. Neither his doctors nor Grok identified any abnormalities. Musk recommended others try uploading medical results after a Norwegian man reported on Reddit that Grok urged him to return to the hospital, where a CT scan confirmed doctors had missed an appendix nearly rupturing. The example underscores a trend of individuals using AI to double-check clinical findings. Silicon Valley investors and executives are funding research into longevity and aging, and some proponents claim AI could substantially increase life expectancy.
