    It’s an ad to show that grok can buy stuff for you. He doesnt care about a canceled Lego order and this is very likely just one of the residences on spacex’s texas site. All this really does his push his ad to more people.

      It is a house in a texas suburb where he pissed if neighbours by building a massive fence and having security shift changes three times a day. So it does seem like he was using it for something at some point.

      He bought it for 4.5 Mil though, so just buying another elsewhere won’t even register.

    Should I put any effort at all into finding out what kind of toys my children like? No I’ll just ask a glorified autocomplete to do the equivalent of typing “top 5 Star Wars Lego sets” into google and buying everything from first Reddit thread it spits out.

          Think it might just be easier to go with numbers.

          #8 has a birthday coming up.

          #9 isn’t hateful enough, won’t make a good republican.

          Etc.

      Put product into duckduckgo. Look for low price.

      Noooo, you don’t get it bro. This is the future. Use your cromium gamimg browser that your favourite youtuber sold you. Give the pedophile your credit card and hope for the best. Don’t live behind a rock.

      But somehow i’m the paranoid idiot

      I mean, would be neat to make something like “I want to fly there, so give me options, check also for rental cars and vacation homes with this-and-those constraints, give me a list and prices” and have it have a go on it. That would really make family vacation easier if I could trust the results.

      But, lo and behold, I cannot trust the results at all, so it keeps being a fantasy (which destroys the world in the meantime, like, ecologically and economically). Then again: after destroying everything, no need for family vacation planning, so, yeah?

        Yeah this would actually be fucking awesome but merchants are either lying or terrible at listing products in a way that’s actually useful for searching them or the results are weighted by whoever’s giving the search engine money.

        I was looking for a desk mat on Amazon a while back and their ai couldn’t even find one with the dimensions I wanted. I had to scroll through dozens of them and find it myself. That should be an easy one, what other properties is a desk mat going to have besides it’s dimensions, what it’s made out of, and what color/picture is it? But no, lets make this take half an hour.

    What about us normies who have to do price comparison, shipping, tariff, and then those of us who buy based upon political affiliation? I would never buy from a MAGAt, republican or trumPedo lover.

      That’s the fun part. Elon was advertising giving Grok your credit card information so it could do something like, “shop for the lowest prices and check out with it.”

    “I just asked Grok @Bot to research the most fun Lego Star Wars kits for young kids and order them. As easy as that,” Musk wrote on X.

    Keep in mind this may be where one of his kids live and not his residence.

    Obligatory, fuck musk.

        He said “for young kids”, never said they were his.

        He has a legion of kids with several different women and does not live with them. He’s more likely to buy legos for his friend at the Epstein club than to do anything nice for his kids anyway.

    Sadly this guy can simply buy and build a new house while staying at one of his other houses to deal with this self-own.

    To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it

    I mean it sounds like heaven if you don’t have a budget for anything, of course they will give you confirmation but then the results of those search are likely the highest end because those are the best SEO optimised one.

    And also you have multiple card in the case that got revealed “accidentally”.
