Elon Musk is making it mandatory for banks, law firms, and other firms involved in SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) to subscribe to Grok, his artificial intelligence chatbot. According to a report from The New York Times, some banks have agreed to invest tens of millions into Grok, which they are integrating into their IT systems. This requirement comes as SpaceX filed IPO paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week, following its acquisition of xAI, the company that produces Grok. Grok is already known to individual users due to its integration with the X social network, which Musk's companies also own. Additionally, Musk has suggested that banks should advertise on X, though he was less forceful about this request. The move to require Grok subscriptions coincides with ongoing investigations into the AI technology for generating inappropriate content.
