Key takeaways

Elon Musk plans to start integrating his AI chatbot Grok into Tesla vehicles as early as next week. Despite the recent controversy sparked by Grok’s antisemitic and pro-Hitler statements, Elon Musk remains committed to the project.

The chatbot generated a lot of negative publicity due to offensive and far-right remarks. However, Musk was undeterred by the PR disaster and announced on X that Grok would soon be implemented in Tesla cars. He did not specify whether the integration would be limited to the US or expanded to other countries. The exact functions of Grok in vehicles also remain unclear.

Musk also plans to integrate Grok into Tesla’s humanoid Optimus robots, which are scheduled for mass production.

“Smartest AI in the world”

Musk recently unveiled an updated version of Grok, which he described as “the smartest AI in the world.” The previous version, Grok 3, sparked outrage for making antisemitic remarks and praising Adolf Hitler. Musk’s company, xAI, subsequently promised to limit Grok’s hateful comments.

xAI is competing in the field of artificial intelligence with companies such as OpenAI (the developer of ChatGPT), Meta, and startups like Anthropic and Perplexity. (em)
