Musk’s Lego order details were used in attempts to alter his purchase
Elon Musk posted on X about using his Grok AI agent to order Lego Star Wars sets.
A screenshot he shared showed the order number, contact and address details, and the last four digits of the payment card.
X users said they used the order number and email address to interact with Lego’s customer service chatbot.
One user claimed the chatbot canceled the order, but Musk later said it had not been canceled.
Another user claimed the chatbot changed the order to 400 sets and altered the delivery address.
Lego did not confirm whether any of these changes to Musk’s order took place.

I just asked Grok @Bot to research the most fun Lego Star Wars kits for young kids and order them. As easy as that.
Don’t worry, I got you @elonmusk
To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it
