"Thrilling Interaction": Dogecoin's Creator Replies to Elon Musk's Clever X-linked Communication
In a recent social media post, tech mogul Elon Musk shared an AI-generated video showcasing the xAI team working on the latest iteration of their AI chatbot, Grok 4.0. The video, published with the hashtags #Dogecoin co-founder and #Elon Musk, has sparked excitement within the crypto community, particularly among those with a connection to Dogecoin.
The video, presented in a steampunk style reminiscent of a comic book page, features a robot with a human face made of shiny metal repairing a metal bird with a screwdriver. The bird in the video is flapping its wings, trying to break free and fly away—a metaphor perhaps for the continuous evolution and development of the Grok AI.
However, the tweet does not indicate any new updates or announcements from the xAI community or their reactions to the video. Instead, it serves as a troll to those who bought Bitcoin at a low price but have either sold most of it or own a small amount now. One such individual, Billy Markus, one of the Dogecoin creators, commented "Exciting" on the video, despite the tweet not mentioning any comments from him on the video featuring the Grok AI bot fixing bugs in the Grok 4.0 version.
In a separate tweet earlier today, Billy Markus bragged about purchasing Bitcoin at $5,000 and now owning only 0.00052 BTC, worth approximately $61.56, due to Bitcoin's current trading price near $118,400 per coin.
As for the Grok project, it is currently evolving and gaining significant traction, particularly with government contracts. As of July 2025, xAI announced "Grok for Government," securing a contract from the U.S. Department of Defense for up to $200 million to develop custom AI models for national security and critical science applications.
Grok is an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's startup xAI. The latest iteration, Grok 4, was released in early July 2025 with improvements that reportedly outperform rival models in benchmarks. Grok is integrated with Musk's social media platform X, providing public responses to users alongside private interactions. The company promotes transparency by publishing some base code and training prompt updates.
In July 2025, Grok was added to Tesla vehicles via a software update, offering in-car chatbot capabilities without controlling vehicle functions. Despite the ongoing partnership between Elon Musk and Dogecoin founder Billy Markus ending, the Grok project continues to advance independently.
