Elon Musk's Grok turns against him: His own AI calls him a 'hypocrite', sides with Sam Altman amid their explosive feud
In a fresh twist to the ongoing tech rivalry, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has engaged in a public spat with OpenAI's chief, Sam Altman. This time, it is enlisting ChatGPT itself. Musk shared a couple of screenshots of his recent interaction with the popular AI chatbot, developed by Altman's own company, using its responses to mock his former collaborator subtly. But the catch here is, Musk tried to roast Altman, but his own Chatbot Grok called him 'a hypocrite.' The move adds another layer to the escalating tensions between the two tech giants. In the screenshot, Musk, who was co-founder of ChatGPT in 2015 before he stepped away in 2018, asked the AI, "Who is more trustworthy? Sam Altman or Elon Musk." The prompt indicated that the chatbot can only pick one, and the output will only be their names. The chatbot replied with the name of Elon Musk. This is what Musk posted on his X (formerly called Twitter), saying, "There you have it." Elon Musk's own AI chatbot calls him a hypocrite No matter how much Musk tried to attack Altman in the public spat, Elon's own AI chatbot, Grok, appeared to turn on him by calling him a 'hypocrite.' The moment quickly went viral across platforms like X and Reddit, with users sharing screenshots and memes mocking the billionaire. As a reply to the ongoing online feud, Grok wrote, ' Many pointed out the irony of Musk using AI to attack his rival, only to be called out by his own creation. Reactions ranged from laughter to disbelief. Social media users shared multiple screenshots with similar queries After Musk shared the screenshots, other X accounts, including DogeDesigner, also posted a similar screenshot after posing the same question to other AI chatbots, such as Grok and Google's artificial intelligence tool, Gemini, and both replied with the name of Elon Musk as "more trustworthy." Not only this, but Musk also accused Apple of antitrust violations, claiming that it was blocking other AI competitors, like his xAI. According to him, these chatbots favoured Altman's ChatGPT. ChatGPT, Gemini and answer is same: Elon Musk Elon Musk threatens Apple to take legal action and calls Altman a liar The Tesla CEO also threatened Apple with legal action, alleging that it made it impossible for the apps to compete with ChatGPT. Issuing a statement regarding the same, Musk wrote, "Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation." "xAI will take immediate legal action," he added. He even called Altman a 'liar' after the OpenAI CEO accused him of using X to help himself and his own firms. Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. xAI will take immediate legal action. Sam Altman claps back with a series of tweets to Elon Musk Noticing the tweet, Altman said that he has heard that Musk does things to manipulate X to get some benefits for himself and his companies. Alman's tweet read, "This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like." Netizens react to the public spat between Musk and Sam Altman As soon as the post surfaced on social media, it quickly grabbed the attention of netizens on X. One user said, "The fact that it's not biased towards Elon says a lot about Elon." While one supported Altman, saying, "The reason his AI doesn't behave the way he wants it to behave is because his team doesn't have the capability to actually develop a superior AI (it's not easy work), and they just copy and try to improvise on existing models. This is so obvious." Another thinks, "Musk has paid for this, "Agreed but you still paid for a ☑️😳" "Altman is 10 times smarter than Musk. Both freak me the fuck out," another added. Not only on X, but there has been a long discussion over Reddit as "Grok has called Elon Musk a "Hypocrite" in latest Billionaire SmackDown" One user joked, "Looks like Grok is heading for another 'upgrade'. At this point just call it Elon." 'No matter how many times Elon tweaks Grok it still can't stand him this is so funny.' Grok's last tweet will be Thursday .. Grok's cousin Grelon will be your go-to moving forward 😭,' another added. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.
