Musk says xAI will reimburse users if Grok Bot mishandles bank accounts

Elon Musk said on X that xAI will compensate users if its AI agent, Grok Bot, causes losses while operating their bank accounts. The statement puts a public guarantee on a product that is still in testing, though xAI’s consumer terms cap most claims at the greater of the amount a user paid or $100. That contrast is drawing attention as Grok Bot begins early real-world experiments. Grok Bot entered beta on Aug. 11, with each agent running around the clock on its own cloud computer. Investor Teslaconomics has already started testing a setup that connects the bot to a bank account for expense tracking and bill payments. The rollout comes after a separate May incident in which a malicious NFT used a prompt injection attack to steal about $150,000 from Bankr, a wallet tied to Grok. Most of those funds were later recovered. So far, there have been no verified cases of Grok Bot mishandling an actual bank account, according to BeInCrypto.
