Elon Musk announces that all X Premium subscribers will now have access to the AI chatbot Grok. Previously only available to Premium+ subscribers, the move is seen as a strategy to prevent users from migrating to other platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky.

Recent data shows that X usage in the U.S. has declined since Musk’s acquisition. The move to provide access to Grok may attract more users to X and allow the platform to compete with other popular chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.

Musk’s decision to open-source Grok challenges OpenAI’s closed-source approach with ChatGPT. This move aligns with other firms like Meta and Mistral that have shared their chatbot codes with the public. Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman alleges a shift in focus to maximize profits, sparking a debate on open-source AI.
