Some Grok Bot users said their weekly usage limits jumped to 100% over Halloween weekend, including users who said they had barely used the service. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk confirmed on X that the change was not a glitch, saying the cost of serving the AI assistant was “unsustainably high relative to revenue.”

SpaceX said in a filing last month that AI accounted for 52% of company income, and its Super Intelligence division reported a $431 million profit. Musk has not said how subscribers’ limits will change going forward.

## The facts

- Musk posted about Grok Bot’s costs on November 1, 2026.
- SpaceX reported a $431 million profit for its Super Intelligence division.

## Why it matters

Grok Bot subscribers may face tighter usage limits, but Musk has not said what limits will apply next.
