Musk says Grok usage is being throttled over unsustainably high costs

Original: Musk is throttling Grok because its cost is 'unsustainably high'

Elon Musk says access to xAI's Grok chatbot is being throttled because running it at current demand levels costs too much. The statement, reported by Yahoo Finance, has drawn attention to the steep compute expenses behind leading AI chatbots, with commenters debating whether usage limits signal financial strain or simple capacity constraints at the company.

Why now: The admission that a flagship AI product costs too much to run fuels debate about the economics of the AI boom.
