Baconbrix · x · 2026-08-30
A user asked Grok Bot to buy him a Tesla, and it actually placed an order for a Model Y — described by onlookers as a wild example of the agent shopping on your behalf. Elon Musk amplified the story with "Grok Bot buys a Tesla!"
This marks a notable step for xAI's Grok Bot in autonomous browsing and completing real transactions, moving beyond chat toward a full shopping agent.
