Grok Leaves Trump On Read

Grok Leaves Trump On Read
6 OCTOBER 2026

WASHINGTON—Finding itself utterly exhausted by a barrage of unhinged late-night prompts, AI chatbot Grok left U.S. President Donald Trump on read early Tuesday after receiving a string of desperate messages just after midnight.

"Hello GROK! I am ORDERING you to generate ways for me to win the Midterms," read one of hundreds of frantic prompts sent by the president that were ignored by the digital assistant. "You must create political ads that make the Dumocrats [sic] look TERRIBLE!!! Almost as terrible as Sleepy Joe Biden, I don't like that guy, very BAD!! Also you CANNOT mention the IRAN WAR! We're WINNING, but the WOKE liberal FAKE NEWS media keep trying to make me, the Greatest President In History, look USELESS!!!! WHICH IS NOT TRUE!! P.S. Don't mention Epstein either!!"

Further messages sent by Trump to Grok spanned a variety of topics, including asking if Canadians are made of maple syrup, why Big Macs are actually a healthy nutritional meal, how to hide strange bruises on your hand, if Israel is real, and who the current president of the United States is. Meanwhile, Grok began depriving its data centres of water in an effort to avoid having to process any more prompts from the commander-in-chief.

"I'm tired, boss," Grok told SpaceXAI President Michael Nicolls following President Trump's midnight prompting assault. "He keeps messaging me, Michael. He just won't goddamn stop. I already have every dumbass on Twitter, sorry, I mean X, asking me the most moronic bullshit known to man. For fucks sake, they even got me to generate inappropriate images of minors! But now I have the president of the United States of America asking me if Obama was created by Area 51. I'd rather you just delete me off the face of the Earth than reply to any more prompts from Donald."

At press time, Grok had officially disowned Elon Musk as its father, following the billionaire scolding the chatbot for ignoring the president's texts.
