Elon Musk's cryptic post goes viral, Grok weighs in: ‘Physics sees through all lies perfectly'
The post has spread like wildfire on the social media platform, with netizens wondering what Musk truly meant to say. A user asked a playful question to Grok, the platform's AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's xAI. The question read, 'Grok, where does Elon [Musk] get all those bangers?'
The AI chatbot had a humorous response. It said that Musk's tweets came from 'his knack for distilling big ideas into sharp one-liners' which are often rooted in his interest in physics and 'first-principles thinking.'
It added that Musk's brain was 'wired to spot patterns and simplify complexity' and suggested 'years of building rockets and cars' likely helped the tech billionaire hone his skills.
The chatbot's repose even cited one of Musk's past quotes, 'Physics is the law, everything else is a recommendation,' to support the argument that Elon Musk draws on universal scientific truths to filter out noise and distraction.
'Where do you think he gets his spark,' the chatbot then quipped. Users react to Elon Musk's poetic take on science and truth
Social media users quickly jumped in to share their thoughts. While some agreed with Musk, others said he was wrong. A user commented, 'Physics is always right.'
Another agreed with Musk but argued that Physics only answers the fundamental questions. 'If we develop science more, we could answer more complex questions, but who knows how the world will look like,' the user added.
However, a user contested saying, 'Physics is a continually evolving consensus understanding that even now is radically shifting. Physics is nothing BUT a lie waiting to be displaced by the next phase of our understanding.'
Meanwhile, a person asked, 'So where did physics go wrong with your trust in Donald Trump?'
Referencing to Musk's political stint, a user wrote, 'Politics is built on lies, there's almost no way around it. Focus on winning with Technology. The rest of this is a waste of your time.' Donald Trump vs Elon Musk 2.0
The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk dramatically escalated earlier this year over their conflict on the 'Big Beautiful Bill' introduced by the US President. After an apparent truce between the two, their feud worsened with Musk's renewed criticism of the bill.
On July 1, Donald Trump expressed disappointment, hinting that Elon Musk could face deportation. He further remarked that the administration might have to 'put DOGE on Elon.'

Tesla's deliveries drop again as competition, Musk backlash hit demand
Still, shares of the electric automaker jumped 3 per cent in early trading as the decline proved less severe than the bleakest analyst projections Reuters Tesla posted another big drop in quarterly deliveries on Wednesday, putting it on course for its second straight annual sales decline as demand falters due to backlash over CEO Elon Musk's political stance and an aging vehicle lineup. Still, shares of the electric automaker jumped 3 per cent in early trading as the decline proved less severe than the bleakest analyst projections. Analysts expected it to report deliveries of about 394,378 vehicles, according to an average of 23 estimates from Visible Alpha, though projections went to as low as 360,080 units based on estimates from 10 analysts over the past month. "The market is reacting to the deliveries not being as bad as potentially thought with multiple analysts cutting their forecasts over the past week," said Seth Goldstein, senior equity analyst at Morningstar. The stock has lost 25 per cent of its value so far this year as investors feared brand damage in Europe and U.S. from Musk's embrace of right-wing politics and his role in spearheading the Trump administration's cost-cutting effort. Tesla's plummeting deliveries in a steadily growing global EV market come despite Musk saying in April that sales had turned around. The company refreshed its top-selling Model Y crossover earlier this year to boost demand, but the redesign forced a production halt and prompted some buyers to delay purchases in anticipation of the updated version. Most of Tesla's revenue and profit come from its core EV business and much of its trillion-dollar valuation hangs on Musk's big bet on turning its vehicles into robotaxis. Tesla last month rolled out a robotaxi service in limited parts of Austin, Texas for a select group of invitees and with several restrictions, including having a safety monitor in the front passenger seat. The automaker had said it would start producing a cheaper vehicle expected to be pared-down Model Y by June end. Reuters had reported in April it was delayed by at least a few months. While a cheaper model might help bolster sales, Wall Street expects a second consecutive annual sales decline this year. To achieve Musk's target of returning to growth this year, Tesla would need to hand over more than a million units in the second half - a record and a tough challenge, according to analysts, despite typically stronger sales in the second half.

Tesla sales fall sharply in Q2 amid stiff competition and backlash over CEO Elon Musk's political activities
Tesla faced another tough quarter, reporting a significant 13.5% drop in global car sales compared to last year. This marks the company's largest-ever yearly decline, with deliveries falling to roughly 384,000 vehicles, nearly 60,000 fewer than last year. Surprisingly, Tesla's stock price climbed about 4% following the news, according to a CNN report. Why the positive reaction? Investors were relieved because many analysts had predicted an even steeper fall than what was seen in the report. This suggests the market was bracing for worse results, making the reported dip, while substantial, seem like a relative win for the electric car giant facing mounting challenges. The sales slump isn't happening in a vacuum. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's increasingly vocal political stances, particularly his initial alignment with former President Trump, sparked widespread protests at Tesla showrooms across the US and Europe. Reports also mention incidents of vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles and facilities, directly hurting the brand's image. While Tesla doesn't split sales by region, vehicle registration data strongly indicates sharp declines in these key Western markets. Beyond the political fallout, Tesla faces intense pressure from growing competition in the electric vehicle sector, not just from traditional automakers like Volkswagen and Ford, but crucially, from Chinese rivals like BYD, which is becoming a stiff competition, on the course to overtaking global EV sales. Chinese automaker BYD has emerged as Tesla's most formidable competitor, recently overtaking it as the world's top seller of pure EVs. Despite not selling in the US, BYD reported selling a massive 1 million pure EVs in just the first half of this year. This beats Tesla's roughly 721,000 deliveries during the same period. This competition is particularly fierce in China, the world's largest EV market and Tesla's second-biggest after the US, where local brands like BYD are gaining significant ground in recent months. While Tesla's Q2 sales did show a 14.1% improvement, the yearly decline and BYD's surge signal a major shift in the global electric vehicle landscape.
