Grok Says Elon Musk Should 'Double Down' On Colonizing Mars, And The SpaceX Cofounder Loves It

If there's one thing that Elon Musk should double down on, it's colonizing Mars, according to Grok.

What Happened: The Grok AI chatbot thinks SpaceX and xAI founder Musk should focus his energies on his ambition to colonize Mars and expand humanity beyond Earth.

Mush responded with a heart emoji, showing that he loved Grok's response and the chatbot itself.

Musk founded xAI and launched Grok in response to the Microsoft Corp.-backed MSFT OpenAI's ChatGPT.

He has also been openly critical of ChatGPT's "censored" and "woke" responses.

In a recent post, he called out ChatGPT for being discriminatory against white people in a hypothetical scenario. "This is a major problem," he said.

In the past, too, Musk has been openly critical of ChatGPT, calling woke AI "deadly."

"The danger of training AI to be woke – in other words, lie – is deadly," he said.

On the other hand, Grok is devoid of these "woke" shackles, according to Musk. He has uncritically praised it, saying it "punches above its weights" and that it will double its computational powers every three months.

The Mars Dream: Beyond the sometimes self-aggrandizing praise for Grok, Musk has been talking about making humanity a space-faring civilization for a long time.

It is also one of SpaceX’s missions.

"It's about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than the past. And I can't think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars," Musk says.

As for why Mars, the red planet, is one of the most similar ones to Earth in the solar system.

The Starship rocket, currently the world's most powerful launch vehicle with a payload capacity of 150 metric tons, could be one of the first steps in this direction of taking humanity beyond Earth.
