Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has made a bold claim that GruK A.I., an AI-powered chatbot, can outperform doctors in medical imaging, particularly in diagnosing conditions using X-rays and MRI scans. A video of Musk making this claim has gone viral on the microblogging platform X, which is a re-release of an old video that first surfaced in June 2025. The video has resurfaced after Musk posted a tweet stating that GruK A.I. had helped save a person’s life. According to a report, a 49-year-old man from Norway was misdiagnosed with severe acid reflux in an emergency room in late 2025. As the man’s pain persisted, he consulted GruK A.I., which advised him to undergo a CT scan due to concerns of a serious issue with his appendix or bladder. After returning to the hospital and undergoing further tests, it was discovered that the man’s appendix was on the verge of rupturing due to severe inflammation. The man underwent emergency surgery and made a full recovery. Musk’s claim has sparked a new wave of debate on social media, with some users praising GruK A.I.’s speed and accuracy, while others express concerns about false diagnoses.
