What they did

Elon Musk asked Grok Bot to research the most fun Lego Star Wars kits for young kids and order them — “as easy as that.” Follow-up reporting noted multiple sets totaling a few hundred dollars; treat purchase confirmation as mandatory for your own runs.

How it went

Primary demonstration by Elon with huge reach; third-party posts cite ~5 sets / ~$241. Exact cart contents not in the original tweet text

Worth knowing

  • Never paste a full card photo into chat if you can use a locked virtual card instead.
  • Always require an approve step before checkout — demos may skip guards you need.

Prompt

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.

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.
