Elon Musk's AI Chatbot Grok Critiques GOP Economic Record

The AI assistant highlights Democrats' stronger economic performance since WWII, despite Musk's support for Republican policies.

Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, stated that Democrats have outperformed Republicans on key economic metrics, including GDP growth, job creation, and recession frequency since WWII.
The chatbot highlighted that GDP growth averaged 4.23% under Democratic presidents compared to 2.36% under Republicans, with Democrats also leading in job creation and fewer recessions.
When asked about recent presidents, Grok noted Joe Biden's addition of 15.7 million jobs and a 53-year unemployment low, contrasting it with Donald Trump's net job loss and record-high unemployment during 2020.
Grok's responses, which were based on publicly available data, sparked significant attention on X, with some users noting its apparent contradiction to Musk's political affiliations and support for Donald Trump.
This is not the first instance of Grok making politically charged statements, as it recently estimated a 75-85% likelihood of Trump being a compromised asset of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
