U.S. Time magazine released a lengthy report on Donald Trump on October 1. The report noted that Trump has grown increasingly fascinated by artificial intelligence capabilities since returning to the White House. Last December, Elon Musk secretly returned to the White House Oval Office to meet with Trump, during which Trump spent hours posing questions about his presidential tenure and political legacy to Musk’s AI chatbot Grok. Trump also asked Grok how Venezuelan citizens would react if the U.S. arrested Nicolás Maduro. Grok replied that Maduro was deeply unpopular in Venezuela, with many Venezuelans likely to celebrate his downfall. The following month, Trump ordered the operation to arrest Maduro, and celebrations subsequently erupted on Venezuelan streets. Multiple officials disclosed that this incident led Trump to view Grok’s performance as excellent. (Jinshi)
