  • Grimes' new AI toy and Elon Musk's chatbot share a name.
  • However, the trademark application for Grimes' Grok was filed more than a month before Elon's.
  • The company behind the toy says Grok is short for Grocket.

Grimes' new interactive AI toy, Grok, has the same name as the chatbot released by Elon Musk's new AI startup, xAI.

Musk first announced the name of his chatbot on November 4 through a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
