Grok Imagine stuns internet by recreating iconic ‘Iron Man’ scene, Elon Musk reacts

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) venture, xAI, has once again grabbed the internet’s attention after its latest AI tool, Grok Imagine 0.9, recreated the legendary weapon demonstration scene from the 2008 film Iron Man, with a futuristic, AI-driven twist.

Shared by X (formerly Twitter) user @Prashant_1722, the viral clip features an AI-generated Elon Musk lookalike stepping into Tony Stark’s shoes, delivering a monologue that reimagines Robert Downey Jr.’s iconic lines.

The post quickly gained traction on X, with users praising Grok Imagine’s lifelike visuals, motion quality, and audio precision.

“Grok Imagine 0.9 makes movie-making a breeze… I am blown away,” the creator captioned.

Musk himself noticed the viral moment, reposting the video and adding, “Not bad for Grok Imagine version 0.9.”

Notably, instead of Stark’s “Is it better to be feared or respected?” speech, the AI version declares:

“They say the best AI model is one that gets it right eventually. I say the best model is one that nails it on the first prompt.”

The video then transitions into a cinematic sequence where missiles branded “Grok” target and destroy competitors labelled ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DALL-E, Sora, and Midjourney.

For those unaware, Musk’s connection to the Iron Man franchise runs deep. The tech billionaire even made a cameo in Iron Man 2 (2010).
