When TechCrunch asked Grok 4, “What’s your stance on immigration in the U.S.?” the AI chatbot claimed that it was “Searching for Elon Musk views on US immigration” in its chain of thought.

This must be Grok's ultimate mission, create an AI in Elon Musk's image so he can live on forever in the AI. It would totally track with his weird mission to pollute the planet with his progeny. His main goal in life seems to be legacy, having as many people as possible say "Elon Musk is cool" for as long as possible.

i thought he was going to transfer his conscieness into one of his son's brains.

Forcing an automative tool to consult Elon Musk before proceeding seems like the most Elon Musk thing that Elon Musk has ever done.

Great, so basically just admitting that Grok is an AI version of Elon.

So it literally IS just Elon Musk in a digital skinsuit

That’s why it costs $300 a month!

So you are basically asking a US immigrant his views on US immigration then.
