SAEDNEWS: Elon Musk asked the AI Grok about a video of Iran’s “rain rockets” over Tel Aviv, aiming to question its authenticity—but received an unexpected answer. This article examines his reaction and his surprising comments about fleeing to Mars.
According to the Science and Technology Desk of Saed News, citing Daneshjo, a video that circulated rapidly on social media yesterday shows striking scenes of the Tel Aviv sky, highlighting Iran’s missile capabilities. The clip captures the precise moment Iranian missiles strike designated targets, demonstrating their ability to bypass advanced air defense systems with remarkable accuracy.
The story became controversial when a parody account of Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, reposted the video, attempting to cast doubt on its authenticity. Musk’s goal was to have his proprietary AI, “Grok,” declare the footage fabricated. However, Grok’s response invalidated this claim, confirming the video’s authenticity based on reports from international news agencies such as Reuters and CNN. The outcome reportedly left Musk acknowledging the reality of the footage, even alluding humorously to his own fear and the idea of fleeing to Mars.
This incident illustrates that, despite media attempts to label Iran’s military capabilities as “fake,” even the most advanced Silicon Valley tools cannot obscure on-the-ground realities. The direct clash between the claim of a global platform owner and the real data verified by AI represents a clear “information failure” in efforts to undermine Iran’s missile power. Grok’s verification demonstrates that today, even algorithms must yield to facts confirmed by reputable news agencies. Beyond confirming the authenticity of the video, this episode shows that Iran’s defensive layers in the media battlefield were reinforced—ironically—by the technology of its challenger.
