Musk shares credit card data publicly

On October 11, 2026, Elon Musk posted an uncensored image on X showing his credit card details, which were visible to all internet users. The image was part of a demonstration for Grok, an AI agent developed by xAI that promises to find online deals and make purchases on behalf of users.

Grok's payment method demonstrated

Musk described the process as simple: users take a photo of their credit card, send it to the chat, and Grok finds the best deal, selects the seller, and completes the purchase automatically. The demonstration was meant to showcase the ease of this new AI-driven payment system.

Personal data exposed without warning

The image showed Musk's transaction number, personal email address, and the last four digits of his credit card. These details were visible without any blurring or warning. It appeared that Musk had not checked the image before posting it online.

Exploitation of the data begins

Within hours, a user named Enderman posted screenshots showing how he had contacted LEGO's customer service bot using the visible order number. He claimed to have canceled Musk's transaction, and the post quickly gained millions of reactions on X.
