马斯克因成本过高收紧 Grok Bot 使用限额
Elon Musk throttles Grok Bot limits due to ‘unsustainably high’ costs
马斯克在 X 上确认，Grok Bot 部分用户周末周用量额度被提前用满并非故障，原因是服务成本相对收入过高。Grok Bot 所属的 SpaceX 上月文件显示 AI 已占公司收入 52%，改名后的 Super Intelligence 部门实现 4.31 亿美元利润，但被收购 Cursor 带来的 12 亿美元一次性成本部分抵消。马斯克尚未说明后续订阅用户的用量限额将如何调整。
Over Halloween weekend, some Grok Bot users awoke to something especially spooky: their weekly usage limits were unexpectedly maxed out, even if they hadn’t been using SpaceX’s agentic AI overnight. Some users reported on X that their usage jumped from as low as 50% to 100%.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk confirmed in an X post on Sunday that this was not a glitch.
“The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue,” he wrote in a reply to a question from a user. He has not addressed the issue on his main feed, but has continued boasting that Grok Bot can help you buy gifts for your family.

Grok Bot has been positioned as a success story for the newly public SpaceX, which said in a filing last month that AI now makes up 52% of company income. Its renamed “Super Intelligence” division actually turned a profit of $431 million, which is a rarity in the AI industry. Its profit would’ve been higher if not for $1.2 billion of one-time costs related to its acquisition of Cursor. Musk recently referred to Grok Bot as having “the fastest growth of a product that I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Musk has not yet shared how subscribers’ usage limits will be impacted moving forward.
