Amazon Blocking Grok Bot Orders? What Musk Says to Do
Users report Amazon blocks agent orders. Elon Musk's advice: have Grok Bot buy from another store.
What was said
On October 10, replying to a user who said Amazon is blocking @bot, Elon Musk said Grok will find another way to buy stuff, and that his Bot bought LEGO from the LEGO website. On October 15 he repeated: ask the Bot to buy someplace else.
What it means for households
Amazon is where many family orders live, so expect some agent orders there to fail. Retailers' own sites, big-box stores and grocery services are the fallback.
Status
We list Amazon orders as Partly on our capability list until that changes.
