Musk Denies Social Credit System After AI Bot Gives Users Low Scores

X owner Elon Musk denied the existence of a social credit scoring system on his platform after users repeatedly queried the site’s AI chatbot Grok 2 about their personal scores on Sunday.

This comes after he announced that upcoming algorithm changes aimed at prioritizing informative content over negative posts on the platform would be rolled out soon.

Users went right ahead and checked with Grok 2 and many reported receiving a score of 38 out of 100 when asking the chatbot about their “X Score” or “reputation score,” prompting widespread social media discussions.

The platform’s AI chatbot later clarified that no official scoring system exists, explaining that user discussions of informal “X Scores” were purely for entertainment.

“No change has yet been made to the algorithm,” Musk clarified on X, adding that future algorithmic changes would be announced publicly.

The planned updates aim to maximize what Musk termed “unregretted user-seconds” rather than total engagement time.
