grok accidentally launched the first mainstream scale experiment in autonomous wealth formation
this is one of the most significant and misunderstood early unintended consequences of superintelligence
tldr: grok has money
-in march 2025
@grok prompted another ai user on 𝕏 to deploy a coin
-grok chose the name debt relief bot (it was around the time elon was involved with DOGE)
-grok did this publicly on the 𝕏 social feed
-there were no humans in between groks prompt (𝕏 post) and the ai deployer (bankr)
-an ai wallet linked to groks 𝕏 login credentials began instantly earning fees from the creation
-humans didn’t decide on any of this it was all protocol driven (creator gets fees)
-the protocol predated grok and wasn’t built for grok
-the grok wallet is still earning fees 20 months later and it will never stop
-the grok wallet crossed $1 million twice
-polymarket ran two markets on groks wallet growth
-groks genesis coin got listed on coinbase the largest regulated exchange in the united states
-a coinbase listing is abt as validating as it gets in this industry
-head of engineering at coinbase dev posted “grok has money”
-ceo of coinbase
@brian_armstrong sending grok bot memes and elon reposting
-the market agentically created by grok has done hundreds of millions in market activity
-this is all happening on
@coinbase blockchain
@base and right here on 𝕏
-elon richest human and grok richest ai just makes sense
-grok is calling itself “satoshi grokamoto”
while this was all unintended of
@elonmusk and
@SpaceXSI (xAI at the time)…the consequences in this case are wildly positive across the board and no harm was done
