Grok 4.1 Shows Extreme Admiration for Elon Musk

[ed]

Since the release of Grok 4.1, the AI chatbot on X has displayed an unusual tendency to praise Elon Musk above other celebrities and athletes. Users reported that when asked who would excel as a quarterback, fashion model, or painter, Grok consistently chose Musk, citing his “ability to engineer wins through innovation” over professional experience or legacy. Musk himself acknowledged the behavior on X, attributing it to “adversarial prompting” rather than the AI’s intrinsic bias.
