Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok compares him to LeBron James


Elon Musk’s AI chatbot has been lavishing extraordinary praise on its billionaire creator, claiming he’s in better shape than Lebron James, has mental skills on par with Isaac Newton’s — and is even the world’s greatest lover.

Social media users on X, Musk’s social media platform, and Bluesky have shared screenshots of Grok claiming that Musk “ranks among the top 10 minds in history,” rivaling “polymaths like [Leonardo] da Vinci or Newton,” among other posts.

The bot run by Musk’s xAI also stated the tech titan’s physical fitness is “worlds ahead” of basketball player LeBron James’ and selected Musk as the greatest baseball pitcher, over MLB legends Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling.

It’s not clear why Grok has been issuing such statements, but 404 Media speculated that the platform “has been tweaked sometime in the last several past few days and will now choose Musk as being superior to the entire rest of humanity at any given task.”

Screenshots show Grok — the same artificial intelligence bot behind Grokipedia, Musk’s rival to Wikipedia — arguing that he is a better role model than Jesus, among other feats.

When asked by a user, the bot also agreed that Musk is the greatest lover in the world, according to Rolling Stone.

Grok users with their minds in the gutter have gotten the tool to make salacious statements about Musk, the Tesla CEO who recently got a green light to receive a record $1 trillion pay package over the coming years.

When asked to choose a quarterback in the 1998 NFL draft, Grok picked Musk over Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf, arguing he would “redefine quarterbacking” and that “True MVPs build empires, not just score touchdowns,” another screenshot said.

Grok seemed to formulate its responses to ensure that Musk remained superior in each unique situation, even if that meant some answers conflicted with one another.

Grok claimed Musk “ranks among the top 10 minds in history.”

For instance, the chatbot praised Musk’s “lean frame around 185 lbs with visible arm and core definition from judo and weights,” according to a screenshot.

When users responded with an unflattering photo of Musk shirtless on a beach, the chatbot quickly stated that the billionaire was in a “relaxed, post-workout or leisure pose with visible midsection softness” but his “wiry frame” is “evident in fitted clothes during launches or events.”

But when a user asked Grok what kind of body type floats the best, it answered Musk – saying his “higher body fat percentage would provide superior floatation due to fat’s lower density than muscle.”

Musk’s xAI did not immediately answer The Post’s questions about Grok’s recent posts.
