Musk Injects Grok Into Robotaxi Expansion Rollout… What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Elons gonna Elon…

The man, who’s been phoning in CEO duties from his X war bunker, decided now is the perfect time to expand Austin’s robotaxi service and jam xAI’s Grok (the X chatbot responsible for blasting out antisemetic garbage) straight into the bloodstream of the Model Y robotaxis.

Wall Street, in its infinite wisdom, didn’t blink. In fact, Tesla absolutely ripped faces off on the news with a 5% surge (presumably because investors have the memory of a goldfish and the risk appetite of a YouTuber doing hot sauce challenges). Translation: It appears investors have settled into a long-term relationship with chaos, and honestly, at this point they’re probably emotionally callused from it.

As far as the plan, the receipts are as follows: the robotaxi expansion in Austin starts this weekend. Next stop, the Bay Area… pending “regulatory approval,” which for Musk means he’s three passive-aggressive tweets away from calling NHTSA a bunch of narcs. Perhaps you’ve heard, but Robotaxis haven’t exactly aced the road test in California, unless you count “blocking an ambulance” as a feature. All this while Model 3 sales are in limp mode, and Tesla’s inventory is starting to look like a CarMax with a chronic FSD recall rash. 

Regarding the Grok part. If you missed it, xAI launched Grok 4 right after the old version went full /pol/ and had to be yanked off the timeline. The update? Musk claims Grok is now so advanced it can outperform OpenAI, Google, and probably your local HOA board in making life miserable. What you’ll actually get: maybe it reads you the weather, maybe it accidentally confuses the “Directions to hospital” request with a Joseph Goebbels Wikipedia page. (If you think I’m exaggerating, go run Grok through some basic prompts and watch it trip over its shoelaces). Seriously, I’ve tested Grok in a variety of ways, and I for one, am not impressed whatsoever.

But alas, while this is going on, Tesla’s board finally set a date… November 6th…. for its next shareholder meeting, after enough investors got tired of waiting and started making noise. Good luck to anyone hoping for actual answers about this AI alliance, or if Musk will even bother showing up when he has half of his board muted on X. With that said though, what’s driving the stock here isn’t robotaxis, Grok, or any fantasy of “superintelligence.” It’s pure volatility. The Musk circus is its own asset class… one where logic, fundamentals, and adult supervision are strictly optional. 

As for what Tesla shares will do today, or even next week after the expansion rollout… Well, it’s a flip of a coin. One day it’s full-send greed in the veins… the other, it’s limp bizkit central. Meaning, while I’m hoping for the best, I’m not holding my breath for anything. For now, keep your heads on the swivel and place your bets accordingly, friends. Until next time…
