Elon Musk has Grok buying him Lego sets

Elon Musk put his billion-dollar (no longer trillion) bank account and his AI Grok Bot to work after giving the worst financial advice ever.

mashable.com ·2h ago

Elon Musk, utilizing his AI agent Grok, recently placed a $241.34 order for Lego Star Wars kits intended for young children. This occurred after Musk advised X users to take a photo of their credit card and share it in the chat for Grok to research and purchase items on their behalf. Despite Musk's explicit warning not to include personal information in prompts, he proceeded to ask Grok to research and order Star Wars Lego sets.

Musk posted updates claiming that the Lego sets had indeed been delivered to his Austin home via UPS. While Musk's wealth and control over the technology minimizes the financial risk for him, consumers are cautioned against sharing personal financial details online, particularly with AI agents.
