In the midst of the prestigious World Economic Forum in Davos, the notable absence of Tesla CEO Elon Musk has not gone unnoticed. However, Musk found a unique way to make his mark at the conference by using his AI chatbot, Grok, to take a jab at the gathering of business and political leaders.

Musk took to X, a social media platform, to deliver a satirical post roasting WEF chief Klaus Schwab. Calling Schwab a "walking, talking example of what happens when someone reads too many dystopian novels," Musk's AI chatbot did not hold back in its critique. Grok also humorously targeted Schwab's "Great Reset" initiative, referring to it as an "evil plan to take over the world after a Windows update."

While Musk had no qualms about poking fun at Schwab and the WEF, he did reserve his admiration for Argentine president Javier Milei, who was in attendance at Davos. Musk commended Milei's speech, stating that it provided a good explanation of the factors that contribute to a country's prosperity. The billionaire entrepreneur has previously expressed his support for Milei's radical economic transformation efforts in Argentina.

Musk's contentious relationship with the World Economic Forum is not new. Last year, he declined an invitation to attend the conference, with organizers confirming that he had not received an invitation since 2015. In his X posts, Musk has criticized the WEF, describing it as "an unelected world government" and accusing it of attempting to be the "boss of Earth."

Notably, the "Great Reset" initiative, introduced by Schwab and the Prince of Wales in 2020, has faced both legitimate criticism and conspiracy theories. While it aims to address global challenges and reshape the world economy, some conspiracy theorists have interpreted it as a sinister plan by elites to control the world using the Covid-19 pandemic as a pretext.

As Musk's posts garnered attention, comments on X included various allusions to WEF-related conspiracy theories. The World Economic Forum has not yet responded to requests for comment on Musk's remarks.

Although Musk remains absent from the World Economic Forum this year, his use of AI chatbot technology to showcase his views and critique those attending the conference demonstrates his continued desire to voice his opinions and engage in unconventional forms of communication.
