“Grok 3 is the smartest AI on Earth”: Musk’s statement and expert opinion

Artificial intelligence is undergoing another revolution, and tomorrow Elon Musk will present a new version of his Grok 3 chatbot, which, according to him, will become “the smartest AI on Earth.” This is not just another update – Musk is convinced that Grok 3 will surpass all existing artificial intelligences, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. He promises that this tool will not only work faster and understand context more deeply, but will also be completely free, without subscriptions or censorship.
“Grok 3 will be unveiled with a live demo Monday night at 8:00 PM PT (Tuesday 7:00 AM PT). The smartest AI on Earth. I’ll be honing the product with the team all weekend so I won’t be online until then.” – wrote Musk on his social network X.
The Grok 3 will be unveiled on February 18 at 8:00 p.m. PT (07:00 a.m. Kyiv). Musk announced the event on his social network X and said that he and the xAI team will spend the entire weekend working on the final polishing of the product to make it as powerful as possible. Scientists and technology analysts are already calling this event the beginning of a new era of artificial intelligence.
According to Musk, the key difference between Grok 3 and its competitors is that it does not just provide answers, but is also able to analyze its own errors, review the received data and build logical consistency. In other words, this AI model not only uses existing knowledge, but can improve it in real time.
Musk paid special attention to the fact that Grok 3 will be fully integrated into X (Twitter). This means that the bot will get instant access to global trends, the most relevant news and comments in real time. Musk is convinced that this will fundamentally change the way we search for information and make his AI completely unique compared to other models that work on the basis of static data.
To demonstrate the possibilities of the new AI, Musk presented one of the examples of his work – a reinterpretation of poetry from “The Lord of the Rings” in a technological style. Grok 3 was able to preserve the rhythm, tone and style of the original text while adapting it to a new theme, which impressed even generative AI skeptics.
Another interesting demonstration was Musk’s test question to Grok 3 regarding the American media publication The Information. The neural network responded that X (Twitter) was the only reliable source of news, which caused a flurry of discussions in the media space. Musk has long been known to criticize traditional media for manipulation and one-sided reporting, and now his neural network seems to fully share that position.
Another opinion is held by the analyst, Director of the Institute of Economic Development of Ukraine Oleksandr Goncharov, who considers, that the launch of Grok 3 not only demonstrates a new level of technology, but also means changing the global rules of the game. Goncharov believes that AI is gradually ceasing to be only an information assistant – now it is a tool for managing big data, trends and even financial markets.
In his opinion, Grok 3 will become the basis for a completely new system of managing economic and social processes. He cites three main aspects that make this model particularly important:
“- speed – instant answers;
– depth of reasoning – understanding of the context;
– integration into X (Twitter) – instant access to information.”
Blockchain integration – Musk and his team have long been working on merging AI with cryptocurrencies and the ISO 20022 standard, which Goncharov says marks the beginning of a new financial era.
Goncharov directly states: AI + blockchain are becoming the main power in the digital world. In his opinion, Grok 3 is not just a language model, but a mechanism for total control over financial flows and global decisions. He believes that those who do not understand the new rules of the game will be left out of the process and risk becoming just a pawn in the new digital system.
“Why is this so important?
– Grok3 is not just a chatbot, it is a data and trend management tool.
– AI support means a new level of financial forecasting, trading, automated strategies.
– In the era of digital currencies and ISO 20022, AI becomes the main mediator between people and money.
How does this relate to blockchain?
– Elon Musk’s team has long been building the infrastructure of the future, where AI+blockchain controls all transactions.
– Texas, cryptocenters, ISO 20022, OpenAI – everything is moving towards a full digital singularity.
– AI algorithms = your financial destiny.
It’s time to understand that AI and blockchain are the new government. Either you learn new rules of the game, or you become just a pawn.” – stressed Goncharov.
