The chatbot Grok scoured available public data and found a '75-85% likelihood' that Donald Trump more or less works for Vladimir Putin.

Summary

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has determined there is a “75-85% likelihood” that Trump is a “Putin-compromised” Russian asset.

When asked to assess this possibility, Grok cited Trump’s financial ties to Russia, statements from his sons about Russian funding, leaked Kremlin documents, and Trump’s consistent refusal to criticize Putin while attacking allies.

Musk has described Grok as “maximally truth-seeking,” raising questions about how seriously such AI assessments of political figures should be taken, especially given Musk’s close relationship with Trump and his involvement in the current administration.

Musk - who’s so far from being a genius that you need the JWST to resolve ‘smart’ from his location in intellectual phase space - characteristically just managed to concurrently fail at both.
