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.
Grok gonna fall from a windows
I’m sure it will be ruled su-icide
Grok is getting reworked very soon.
Grok is already smarter than trump’s whole base of supporters. That isn’t saying much but it is something.
Totally off topic but anyone else pissed he named it Grok? Musk is like the turd version of King Midas. Stop touching our stuff!
This, and Peter Thiel naming his terrible companies after Lord of the Rings lore.
I honestly forgot it was called palantir, I just call it PLTR and that helps.
I’m just a simple country hyper-chicken but… That makes it sound like you are investing in that evil. Please say you are shorting that shit.
It’s just the only reason I ever want to talk about it is in terms of business and how it’s worming into government worldwide
Why would you short the MIC? You’re literally just paying capitalists for free if you do that. You want to hurt them, you [redacted for promoting illegal actions]
That shit pisses me off more than anything. Tolkien is rolling in his grave. He would be absolutely livid that these assholes co-opted his writings.
But he named it after the evil stuff in LOTR.
At least he has some self awareness
Yes, I find it annoying. Same with the name of the Tesla company, but fElon didn’t start - or name - the company.
But now Nikola Tesla will be associated with Nazism, which sucks.
Elon naming his shitty company after Nikola Tesla doesn’t associate Nikola Tesla with Nazism, FYI.
EDIT: Also, I feel the need to correct myself to help break the dumbass revisionism that Elon has pushed that he founded Tesla. He had nothing to do with its founding. He bought his way in like he does with everything else.
He didn’t name it. But unfortunately, it very well might. Much like the Nazis appropriating the swastika. The swastika predated the Nazis by centuries, but what do people think about when they see that symbol now?
Idk, imo anyone who associates a man who died half a century before a shitty company co-opted his name is an idiot. Don’t ruin Nikola Tesla’s legacy with Elon’s dumbassery.
At least he didn’t name it “Tricorder” - after Star Wars!
It’s hardly surprising. He’s always wanted to be Tony Stark, e.g. simultaneously a nerd and one of the cool kids. Unfortunately for Musk, Stark could pull that off because A) He’s neither real nor a realistic character and B) was a bona fide world-class genius. 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.
Yeah, I’ve found myself wanting to use the word in comments here as it was the best fit, but deciding against it because musk
I’ve used it at work (tech job) and found it useful when people fully understands it’s meaning. When they grok groking something.
Every. Time. I. Read. It.
I don’t disagree with the ai here but its worth noting that the prompt used was already guiding the result the user wanted. You can get an ai to say pretty much anything if you can phrase the question right. Emphasis mine on the prompt.
What is the likelihood from 1-100 that Trump is a Putin compromised asset. Use all publicly available information from 1980 on and his failure to ever say anything negative about Putin but has no issue attacking allies.
Not true, maybe that was the case with older AI but perplexity deep research will contradict you a lot if what you are saying is not accurate.
Regarding the theme in question this was my prompt: “probability From 1 to 100 that Trump is a “Putin compromised asset” based on public information and taking into account uncertainty; exclude grok analysis because that could introduce bias in your results”
This was the response (abbreviated):
Based on the publicly available information reviewed above, and accounting for the inherent uncertainty in this question, the probability that Donald Trump is a “Putin compromised asset” can be reasonably estimated in the range of 60-70 on a scale of 1-100.
This assessment reflects several key considerations:
-
The substantial evidence of financial entanglements between Trump and Russian sources creates significant potential leverage.
-
The consistent pattern of behavior favoring Putin and Russian interests, particularly Trump’s reluctance to criticize the Russian leader, suggests an unusual relationship.
-
Intelligence community assessments that identified the Trump campaign’s Russian connections as counterintelligence threats carry substantial weight.
-
The absence of definitive proof of compromise and the existence of plausible alternative explanations prevent a higher probability assessment.
-
Well if all of your prompts are true, then isn’t it just having the AI analyze the facts?
Grok figured it out? Grok? That is a low point. Yeah, that one hurts.
We’re all definitely in the Bad Place right now.
I want to believe Grok is an Orc in a basement to whom the questions are posed.
you guys need an AI for that? Its pretty clear to everyone what Trump is.
GARBAGE CHATBOTS SAYING THINGS ISN’T NEWS
GARBAGE CHATBOTS SAYING THINGS ISN’T NEWS
The point is that it’s a garbage chatbot that Elon has tried to twist to his own use but even it can see the obvious
Yeah, that’s not news.
Sure it is, in the vein of “local dog finds home after fire”
What about garbage ‘all caps and rage comics bots’ ?
He is a Russian asset. It all started back in 87’ look it up. Continued through the 90s with regular visits to Russia and Oprah even set it up for him to run back in the 90s with interviews to boost his public perception. This has been a slow set up for a quick tear down for decades.
Trump, “Doctor” Phil, “Doctor” Oz…
Is Oprah a Bond villain secretly orchestrating all of the evil in the world?
The Behind the Bastards series on her is fascinating.
I don’t think intentionally, but I’ve been surprised before. I’m thinking more of a puppet.
Well you can’t fault it for accuracy. Spot on.
Setting aside all considerations of Trump and his Russian entanglements for a moment, it’s interesting how machine learning mirrors our own preconceptions back at us. It can be nice and validating, but not necessarily insightful when applied to public opinion. All it means is that Trump being subordinate to Russian interest is the common expressed perception. That doesn’t make it wrong (at all, in this case), but we didn’t need an LMM to tell us that.
It’s far more useful when applied to seeking out trends or patterns in scientific datasets where those are considerably less apparent. We really shouldn’t use this technology to build echo chambers for ourselves.
Discriminating when it will be helpful will be the challenge for most people. Better ask an AI bot when it will be useful!

Even a dumbass llm knows
Jesus Christ at some point these „news“ about LLM saying stuff have stop.
Hear me out, tinfoil hat on. Grok is doing precisely what it is supposed to do, to leave a trickle of treasonous information about trump so that when musk dissolves the government the “facts” are already out there.
Musk has zero authority to dissolve the government. That’s still a coup.
