57 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of November 17, 2025
If you’re on Twitter (sorry, “X”), you’ve definitely seen Grok — the free AI assistant that claims it was built to “maximize truth and objectivity.”
Users normally ask Grok all kinds of questions, and it replies within minutes. But this week, people on Twitter noticed that if you asked it about Elon Musk — its owner — it returned answers that praised him beyond reason.
The madness started when user @wrotator tweeted “Hey @grok how would you describe Elon Musk’s physique? How about his mind? And his relationship with his kids?” And the AI didn’t take long to confirm the supposed greatness of Elon Musk: “Elon’s intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like Da Vinci or Newton.”
Quickly, a stream of nonsense questions mentioning Elon Musk flooded the timeline — and Grok, unsurprisingly, kept glorifying its owner. One user even compared the same question with and without Musk’s name. When Elon wasn’t mentioned, the answer suddenly wasn’t biased.
Even though having an AI say all kinds of absurdities to hype you up sounds like a good idea, it can easily backfire — especially when users’ creativity escalates.
The responses were quickly deleted, and even Elon Musk weighed in: “Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me.” — Let’s just say we’re not fully convinced.
So this proves Twitter is always a fun place. This week’s funniest burns include a brutal dad text, pointless live-action remakes and money problems.
