November 3rd, Elon MaskElon Musk"THE TIME FOR PROSPERITY WILL COME, BUT NOWGrok Bot Imminent use is not yet possible。
This.. SpaceX IN RESPONSE TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMMUNICATION ON PLATFORM X LAST WEEK'S LOCAL TIME THAT THE WEEKLY RATE OF CONSUMPTION WITH FEEDBACK FROM USERS WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL, HE STATED THAT THE SERVICE COSTS OF THE AI SMART BODY WERE “UNSUSTAINABLE IN RELATION TO INCOME”。
Grok Bot, an AI smart body launched by SpaceX in August, relies on virtual computers to perform various tasks such as shopping. The product is in various stages, ranging from a free version to a monthly package of $200 (the current exchange rate is approximately 1,332 yuan)。
All slots have weekly occupancy limits for replacement. SpaceX and other AI smarts like Meta's Muse use this way to avoid large billings。
A large number of Grok Bot users posted in X on weekends, indicating that the amount was running out faster than expected, also prompted Mask to respond。
He replied to one user: "Is the price increase for a higher-level package too high?" In another response, he mentioned that the level was reduced and the users were informed that “it was only rational practice”。
SpaceX disclosed in last month's financial paper that the number of Grok Bot paid weekly users had reached 800,000. Mask said to investors that this AI smart body was "the fastest growing product I've ever seen in my life."。
And he added, "I think Grok Bot might end up eating most of our super-smart algorithms."
SpaceX recently announced that Grok Bot would be packed into a new X subscription package with a price of $8 per month (at an exchange rate of about 53.3 yuan), with a package of X senior members and the AI programming tool Cursor acquired this year. Mask revealed in October that Grok Bot would not only call the Grok model, but would also have access to Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno。
AI HAS BECOME THE HOTTEST NEW TRACK IN THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY, BUT THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE BUSINESS MODEL IS PROFITABLE。
Meta’s Muse is popular, with millions of users, but the government has not announced its operating costs. Last month, however, Zuckerberg confessed to investors that this intelligent body is “extremely delirious” and is not yet profitable。
Musktan, Grok Bot is burning money, which also leads to part X user tuning -- He also said a short while ago that the era of prosperity in AI came soon, and that saving money was in itself “no sense”。
