Grok (GROK) tokens increased by 54% on Sunday when Elon Musk confirmed that Grok 3 from his AI startup, xAI, would launch on Monday. The current market value of GROK tokens stands at $0.005305, and its total market capitalization reaches $33.6 million.
Grok 3 will launch at 8:00 PM Pacific time during a direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini AI systems. Musk described Grok 3 as the “smartest AI on Earth” through his X (formerly Twitter) social media post. The product needs to overcome substantial competition from existing market leaders.
Despite obtaining $6 billion from Nvidia, AMD, and Saudi Arabian and Qatari funding sources, xAI operates as a minor player in the market. OpenAI, under the leadership of Sam Altman, denied Elon Musk’s $97.4 billion acquisition attempt, which demonstrated the company’s market-leading position in the AI field.
The power that Musk wields brings negative aspects to the table. During November 2023, the market saw multiple GROK token clones that achieved a 30,000% price increase before disappearing completely.
The political stance of Elon Musk has led to decreased sales for Tesla and reduced user numbers for X. Bloomberg published a $75 billion valuation of xAI while the company continues its venture capital fundraising efforts to secure $10 billion.
The future of Grok 3 as a transformative AI solution or an additional competitor in the field remains uncertain while Grok token owners continue to benefit from current market conditions.
