What they did

He got a DMV notice to renew his vehicle registration, took a picture of it and told his Grok Bot to do it. It asked for his insurance card, did the whole process, and asked whether to use the credit card in its vault. He said yes and got a confirmation email that the renewal was complete and new stickers were on the way.

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
