I love that for him, Grok is going to continue to be unprofitable because nobody wants to actually pay for this garbage!

Grok Bot starts on the $30/month plan. The $100/month plan has 15 times the usage limits. Did an AI come up with these price points? 🤔

Poor Grok, like all Musks children abandoned when it takes a little bit of effort and resources to maintain.
