Elon Musk Sparks Security Debate With Grok Credit Card Shopping Feature

Elon Musk suggested that users can upload a photograph of their credit card to Grok, which will then search the internet for the best deals and place orders on their behalf.

A context card noted that xAI warns users not to include personal information in prompts and that user data may be stored in cloud environments requiring human review for financial transactions.

Elon Musk shared a post demonstrating that he asked Grok to research and order suitable Lego Star Wars kits for young children, completing the purchase directly from the Lego website.
