Elon Musk amplified a post by filmmaker FilmLadd, who says he used the Grok/Bot combo to build his own video editor in just 3-4 days, ending a 25+ year dependence on Adobe Premiere. He plans to release the source code for free so anyone can download it and use Grok/Bot to adapt it to their own needs — a notable grassroots proof point for Grok's agent coding capability.
