Elon Musk announced that X, formerly known as Twitter, plans to introduce advertising directly into the responses of its AI chatbot, Grok. This move aims to monetize Grok and revive the platform's advertising revenue. Advertisers will be able to insert product suggestions within Grok's answers, leveraging xAI’s technology to enhance ad targeting across X. The announcement was made during a live discussion with advertisers and marks a new monetization strategy for X's struggling advertising business. Musk, known for his previous support of open-source AI, is shifting toward integrating ads into the AI chatbot, a development reported by multiple news outlets including the Financial Times, TechCrunch, and The Guardian.
Just got this advertisement for Grok… That is clearly a Star Wars character… And Twitter is putting $ behind this… If you’re gonna use AI to make an ad, especially an ad for your AI tool… you reallyyy are tempting lawyers by using copyrighted characters… https://t.co/OtnucNVGMc

Elon will post whatever the fuck he wants! Who are you to tell him to post less about xAI and more about SpaceX??? Grok is his baby, him and the team did a lot of hard work to make Grok, ofc he would promote it left and right.
