Damian Player notes xAI is running UGC ads for Grok Bot: a trillion-dollar company that owns the platform and could afford any production instead chose a creator explaining how Grok scaled her team's outbound sales—it doesn't look like a traditional ad. Commenters call it a smart move: xAI's best window to acquire users before other labs ship equivalents, with hundreds of creators already pushing Grok.
