Elon Musk suggested that people share their medical records with Grok, and even Grok said that was a big, fat no-no

Time to check in once again with Elon Musk. What’s he been up to recently? Trying to influence foreign democracies? Having a pop at minorities? Amplifying the views of the far-right on Twitter? Well, yes, naturally. But he’s also been trumpeting the new iteration of his Grok AI chatbot, Grok 4.2, which he claims is ‘funny, based and smart’.

It’s ‘so good’ that he’s even suggesting that users upload their medical records so that Grok can give them a ‘second opinion’.

His recommendation came in the form of a reply to DogeDesigner, a Twitter user who is such a Musk toady that his tweets are boosted so frequently by his beloved hero to the point where he has almost two million followers.

Here’s the tweet.

For once, everyone was on the side of Grok on this matter.
