Musk Mandates Grok at Tesla, Where He Profits and Engineers Prefer Claude
Tesla Grok AI spending cap: Musk directed engineers to switch to Grok 4.5 four days after imposing a $200 weekly limit on rival tools — while exempting xAI, a company he controls. Grok 4.5 benchmark coding performance trails Claude Fable 5 by 17 points on neutral tests, and its hallucination rate doubled to 54%, even as Tesla engineers broadly prefer Claude.
