Created to be a more irreverent, politically incorrect, and “truthful” AI, Grok is Elon Musk’s frequently controversial answer to ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI—the company he co-founded in 2015.
Who Created Grok AI?
Launched in 2023, Grok was developed by xAI, Elon Musk’s rival to AI powerhouse OpenAI. Since its release, Grok has been integrated into X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Grok is not just another chatbot—it’s designed to be snarky, opinionated, and responsive to real-time news and public sentiment.
Musk first announced plans for a ChatGPT rival in April 2023. Then called TruthGPT, the chatbot was intended as the antithesis of what he labeled “woke” AI, referring to the political filters imposed by OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Anthropic.
