Elon Musk rebuked his own artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Grok on Sunday, after it incorrectly verified a false X post purporting to show the tech billionaire taking a swipe at White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.
The fabricated post, which has since been deleted, took advantage of the explosive rift between Musk and President Trump last week, the fallout of which has caught Miller and his wife Katie Miller in the crosshairs.
Katie Miller, who served as an adviser and spokesperson for Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was among those who left the White House alongside the Tesla CEO late last month.
The X post on Sunday reportedly showed a fake screenshot in which Musk appeared to reply to Stephen Miller, saying, “Just like I took your wife,” according to Grok’s summary.
When asked by an X user to verify the post, the AI chatbot responded that it “likely existed and was deleted.”
“The screenshot's engagement metrics and context align with Musk's behavior, but its deletion means direct verification is unavailable,” Grok noted. “While a fabricated screenshot is possible, the evidence leans toward the post being real but removed, consistent with Musk's pattern of deleting controversial posts.”
Musk responded with some exasperation to his own chatbot, underscoring that the post was fake.
The exchange comes as the Tesla CEO’s feud with Trump appears to be cooling off following the public clash between the pair last week.
The dispute, which came just days after Musk officially departed the White House, stemmed from the tech billionaire’s vocal opposition to Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill.
However, the fight quickly devolved into personal attacks, as Trump threatened the massive government contracts held by Musk’s companies and Musk accused the president of ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and backed calls for his impeachment.
By Friday, Musk was already striking a more conciliatory tone on social media, and over the weekend, he appeared to offer support for the president amid his fight with California leaders over immigration protests in Los Angeles.
