马斯克以服务成本过高为由下调 Grok Bot 每周用量上限
Elon Musk throttles Grok Bot limits due to ‘unsustainably high’ costs
马斯克确认下调 Grok Bot 的每周用量上限，称相对收入而言服务成本过高难以持续。万圣节周末部分用户反映用量一夜之间从低至 50% 跳到 100%。SpaceX 上月提交的文件称 AI 已占公司收入的 52%，其更名的“超级智能”部门盈利 4.31 亿美元，若剔除收购 Cursor 相关的 12 亿美元一次性成本利润会更高；马斯克尚未说明订阅用户限额后续将如何变化。
Over Halloween weekend, some Grok Bot users awoke to something especially spooky: their weekly usage limits were unexpectedly maxed out, even if they hadn’t been using SpaceX’s agentic AI overnight. Some users reported on X that their usage jumped from as low as 50% to 100%.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk confirmed in an X post on Sunday that this was not a glitch.
“The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue,” he wrote in a reply to a question from a user. He has not addressed the issue on his main feed, but has continued boasting that Grok Bot can help you buy gifts for your family.

Grok Bot has been positioned as a success story for the newly public SpaceX, which said in a filing last month that AI now makes up 52% of company income. Its renamed “Super Intelligence” division actually turned a profit of $431 million, which is a rarity in the AI industry. Its profit would’ve been higher if not for $1.2 billion of one-time costs related to its acquisition of Cursor. Musk recently referred to Grok Bot as having “the fastest growth of a product that I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Musk has not yet shared how subscribers’ usage limits will be impacted moving forward.
