Elon Musk said on X on October 15, 2026 that SpaceX will compensate users for damage if Grok makes a mistake during a purchase or leaks card information. Musk added that a card information leak by Grok has not occurred yet, and he did not disclose specific compensation criteria, according to Business Insider.
The statement followed a user's post saying they completed an airline ticket booking using Grok, sending a photo of their credit card to the AI instead of using the airline website, with the AI handling the payment and booking confirmation.
Grok's bot terms of service currently place responsibility for transactions performed by the AI agent and their costs on the user. OpenAI and Meta also assign responsibility for transactions carried out by AI agents on behalf of users to the user by default.
Shane Mac, CEO of XMTP Labs, said his own AI financial assistant confused similarly named chat rooms and disclosed bank balances and spending details to a company executive Slack channel.
