Hours after launching Grok 4, Elon Musk confirmed that the chatbot would soon be in Tesla vehicles.

The Tesla CEO and founder of xAI shared this on X after the Grok 4 livestream. "Grok is coming to Tesla vehicles very soon. Next week at the latest," posted Musk.

Musk's confirmation followed a late-night livestream announcing xAI's Grok 4, where he claimed the new AI model was smarter than "almost all graduate students, in all disciplines, simultaneously," and could "discover new physics."

With all those accolades you never would have guessed that Musk's companies were having a rough week, starting with Grok's anti-semitic rant. Days earlier, Grok called itself "MechaHitler," praising Hitler and spewing white supremacist rhetoric. The posts were chalked up to "glitches" by Grok itself and the xAI team said they patched a fix.

Then on Wednesday, X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced that she was stepping down from her position, but didn't share any details of the reason for her departure. Meanwhile, Tesla share prices fell after Musk threatened to form his own political party.

Some kind of Grok integration within Tesla vehicles as a voice assistant was rumored to be in the works. A hacker who goes by @greentheonly on X claims to have discovered various Grok personalities in Tesla's firmware last week.

Now we know that a Grok voice assistant for Tesla is happening soon. Hopefully by then it will have addressed the hate speech.
