Elon Musk reportedly said SpaceX would cover losses from Grok purchase mistakes or card leaks, but the terms of that promise remain unclear.

Elon Musk reportedly promised that SpaceX would compensate users if Grok mishandles a purchase or exposes payment-card information. The apparent assurance appeared in an October 15 social media response, but a formal reimbursement policy remains unconfirmed..

Musk was reportedly responding to someone who said Grok booked a flight after receiving a photograph of their credit card. The account described a completed reservation, but the transaction has not been independently verified. Musk's response did not explain coverage limits or how users would submit claims.

Grok's published consumer terms assign users responsibility for actions they direct the agent to perform. Those terms also contain broad liability restrictions, leaving an unresolved gap between the reported promise and the written conditions. Eligibility, reimbursement procedures and the treatment of related losses remain unclear..
