After Elon Musk was goaded by Andrew Tate to speak on the mystery surrounding the recent drone sightings in New Jersey, the Tesla CEO spoke about it but not what the Internet probably was looking for. “Grok can even explain drones over New Jersey!” Elon Musk posted on X promoting his chatbot Grok.
X users asked Grok and posted Grok’s reply about the drone mystery. Grok summarized what happened so far and how this is a complex situation as no one knows anything certain about the drones.
“Grok says they’re food delivery drones,” one user said.
“Which means Grok is exponentially more useful than Joe Biden,” another wrote replying to Musk.
What Grok said about New Jersey drone sightings
“While Governor Phil Murphy and other officials have stated there’s no known immediate threat to public safety, the lack of clarity has led to public concern and speculation. Some residents have expressed fear over privacy and security, while others have captured footage shared on social media,” Grok wrote.
“Various theories have circulated, from commercial or military surveillance to foreign adversaries. However, federal officials, including the White House, have suggested that many sightings might actually be of manned aircraft rather than drones. The Pentagon has denied claims these could be from a foreign “mothership.”
Airport, airbase closed because of drone activity
While the Feds downplayed the drone activities and said there was no threat from those drones, though they did not know the origin, New York’s Stewart International Airport temporarily closed its runways for about an hour on Friday night. The airspace above Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio was also restricted because of the drone activity.
The FBI and DHS issued a joint statement Thursday saying that there is no evidence that the drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat.
