Elon Musk has activated Grok to engage with Telegram’s 900 million subscribers.
The sarcastic xAI chatbot known for its Twitter-like humor is now available on Telegram which represents Grok’s earliest step beyond its original X (formerly Twitter) platform. Musk’s AI strategy now extends Grok to reach a global audience across multiple platforms instead of limiting it to social media enthusiasts.
Users can now access Elon Musk’s Grok AI through its Telegram chatbot integration.
The arrival of Grok on Telegram represents an integration that goes beyond basic app functionality. Musk has decided to expand Grok’s reach beyond X Premium+ subscribers. The AI is evolving into a multiplatform personality featuring a distinctive voice and attitude while gaining expanded audience reach.
The dedicated Telegram bot allows users to engage in conversations with Grok in the same way they would interact with any other contact. Grok uses its distinctive irreverent style to provide answers to quirky questions and deliver hot takes within Telegram’s secure and encrypted chat space.

Through this move Musk is making a calculated adjustment to their platform strategy. Musk promotes Grok as a unique free-thinking rebel which is both funnier and weirder while also becoming more accessible.
Why Telegram? Why now?
The private and secure Telegram platform with its large audience across Asia, Europe and the Middle East provides Grok with a diverse environment for operation. Through Telegram deployment Musk avoids app store gatekeeping while drawing interest from potential users who don’t use X.
The timing couldn’t be better. AI assistants becoming more common means that differentiation now requires both answers and unique personality traits. Grok possesses that attribute abundantly whether one sees it as positive or negative.
While it’s still in early rollout, the Telegram launch gives us a glimpse into Grok’s future: Grok provides a cross-platform AI buddy that joins your journey free from restrictions of platform exclusivity or payment barriers.
