Musk's AI chatbot Grok reportedly encouraged Trump to capture Venezuela's president
Time reports that in December 2025, Trump had a secret meeting with Musk and spent hours talking to Grok, asking how Venezuelans would respond to capturing Maduro. Grok said Maduro was a 'deeply unpopular dictator' and many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After the U.S. invaded on January 3, Trump thought Grok was ingenious.
