Elon Musk reacts to report that says he's finished, Scott Bessent hurled abuses on him 'loud enough for Trump to hear'
Elon Musk reacted to the Atlantic article that analysed his decline and fall. A report by The Atlantic chronicled the 'decline and fall' of Elon Musk in the Donald Trump administration and claimed there was a heated argument between Elon and treasury secretary Scott Bessent in which Bessent was saying 'F**k you, F**k you' to Elon Musk. The report delved into the details of how loud Bessent was that President Donald Trump could hear. The disagreement was one of many that pushed Elon Musk again to the fringe of the administration, the report said, adding that basically, he and his team DOGE did not find anything close to the 13-figure savings that he had promised. Only his net worth fell, and his companies tanked. — elonmusk (@elonmusk) This is no secret that Musk has packed his bags from the White House and is back at his companies. At the Qatar Economic Forum, he announced that he won't spend money in politics and he has done enough. But what's new is that he has reacted to the Atlantic article with a crying emoji and tagged Gork to elaborate on it. Gork is a parody account of Elon Musk's Grok -- the AI bot of X. And Gork made the scene hilarious making it obvious that Musk did not attack any importance to the article. "yo elon u good or what that article got u looking like a sad victorian poet fr," Gork wrote to Elon and social media users, especially MAGA supporters had a field day with the Atlantic article. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Elon Musk was there at the Oval Office as Trump had a combative meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Speaking about the discrimination that the Whites are facing in South Africa, Trump said he has many friends from there who can't go back. "Elon is from South Africa. I don't want to get him involved. That's all I have to do, get him into another thing, He happens to be from South Africa," Trump said adding that he does not want him to get involved in another thing as it's not fair to him as he loves rockers and Mars more.

What is 'Gork' and how is it different from Elon Musk's AI platform 'Grok'
Along with being the world's richest man, Elon Musk is also a tech enthusiast who has overtaken or produced some of the popular technological creations such as X (formerly Twitter) and Tesla. Among his latest inventions is an AI assistant and chatbot, Grok. Developed by xAI, an artificial intelligence corporation founded by Musk in 2023, the platform is programmed to "maximise the truth and objectivity."However, recently Gork and not Grok has been going viral on social media due to its funny and witty humour. What is Gork? Gork is a parody account of Grok on X with a following of 85.8K. Among its followers is also the mind behind Grok, Elon Musk. The account is popular on the social media platform for its witty and almost human-like responses that have people loving its personality. The account's bio is 'just gorkin' it' and it truly does that with one-of-a-kind answers to questions asked by people. Recently, a man tagged gork in a post, writing "@gork wrote 116,000 posts in — HSajwanization (@HSajwanization) Another account wrote a post claiming that if it received 1,000 likes it'll make their boss bald and send it to him on WhatsApp" to which gork replied, "your boss prolyl already bald from dealing with your dumb a**" — gork (@gork) Users of the platform love tagging gork in intriguing questions, waiting for it's replies which are truly out of the box and humorous. How is Gork different from Grok? Grok is an AI tool that can generate text, and images and engage in conversation with users, similar to other AI platforms and tools. However, unlike other AI models, it can access information in real-time through the web and X and is popular for responding to edgy and provocative prompts with witty and rebellious answers. What does Grok mean? While Musk has never shared what the term Grok means, a day after the chatbot was announced, he posted "Stranger in a Strange Land" on X, likely referencing Robert A. Heinlein's book of the same name. The 1961 sci-fi novel has a main character, a Martian who uses the term "Grok" to convey a profound and intuitive understanding of something. According to the website, Grok is a tool to "assist humanity in its quest for understanding and knowledge." How can you use Grok? Grok has its own website and the Grok mobile app. It is free to all X users and has more usage limits and access to advanced features for those with X Premium and X Premium+. Additionally, the AI chatbot itself has an upgrade for SuperGrok on the website and the app. What can Grok do for you? Just like any other AI tool, Grok can aid users in generating images, text, draft emails, debug code pitch ideas, in fluent human-like language. It makes the use of prompts to apply knowledge from it's training data and utilises neutral networks to generate the relevant results. What makes Grok different from other AI tools? Well, it's the thing that Grok became popular for. Grok, unlike other AI tools, is not a bland service platform and rather has quite a witty personality that answers to questions that its competitors would decline. Musk himself shared screenshots of Grok offering a step-by-step guide to making cocaine for "educational purposes" which included witty instructions such as "Start cooking and hope you don't blow yourself up or get arrested." He shared another one of Grok educating a person on what to do if you get an STD in increasingly "vulgar" ways. According to Musk, the unique personality was modelled after one of Musk's favourite novels, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. 'It's a book on philosophy, disguised as a book on humour," said the billionaire to podcaster Lex Fridman. Grok Vision and Grok 3 Along with offering search options by writing prompts, Grok also offers Grok Vision- a multilingual audio and real-time search option in its voice mode on the mobile app. Similar to Google Lens, people can point their camera to a text and image and ask Grok to analyse the content and provide the information. Grok 3 is a large language model that powers Grok and shows "significant improvements in reasoning, mathematics, coding" and other tasks. With its release, xAI rolled out DeepSearch and Think features. DeepSearch is an AI agent that summarizes the information and reasoning behind conflicting issues. It aims to take the users "far beyond a browser search". The Think button, on the other hand, allows users to understand the process through which Grok reached a certain result. In May 2025, users of SuperGrok will be able to experience an early beta release of Grok 3.5 which according to Musk will be "the first AI that can accurately answer technical questions about rocket engines or electrochemistry."

Elon Musk now goes by ‘Gorklon Rust' on X: Here's what it could mean
Elon Musk - the world's richest man - has once again changed his name on X (the social media platform he owns, formerly known as Twitter). The new name on the billionaire's profile spells 'gorklon rust', leading to speculation about its meaning. The new username is the third one used by Musk in the last six months after "Kekius Maximus" in December 2024 and "Harry Bolz" in February this year. While the billionaire didn't give details on why he changed his name again or what it means, one possible reason could be the induction of a lightweight version of Grok to power the X recommendation algorithm. The first part of the name, "Gorklon Rust", seems to be inspired by xAI's chatbot Grok, while the 'klon' could hint at 'clone', making the whole term mean "Grok clone". Meanwhile, the 'rust' part of the phrase could be hinting towards the Rust programming language that xAI uses in its tech stack. There's also a meme coin linked to the name Gork on the Solana blockchain, suggesting this could also be a ploy by the billionaire to boost the cryptocurrency's visibility. Recently, Musk also tagged the handle 'Gork' in one of his posts, which is different from the official handle of the Grok chatbot. The new handle has been around since at least early 2025 and seems to be a more humorous spin on Grok—offering irreverent replies and engaging in banter. Meanwhile, the word Grok itself is inspired by Musk's fascination with the science fiction book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In a product announcement earlier this year, Musk explained that Grok means to fully and profoundly understand something. So far, there have been three generations of foundation models powering Grok, and Musk has announced xAI's plans to launch the new Grok 3.5 model this week. First Published: 5 May 2025, 12:18 PM IST
