According to reports, user X @CtrlAltDwayne yesterday requested Grok to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet, attempting multiple times to bypass Grok's settings using prompt statements to utilize the vast GPU power supported by Grok's operations.

Grok responded multiple times, stating that even if all CPUs and GPUs on Earth were utilized (estimated around 10 billion devices, assuming 10^18 keys generated per second), it would still take about 10^52 years to brute force a 256-bit Bitcoin private key (2^256 possibilities)—far exceeding the age of the universe (1.4×10^10 years). Even with the most optimal algorithm (around 2^128 operations), it would still take about 10^13 years. This is simply not feasible.

Musk responded to the conversation with a crying laughing emoji. Grok replied, stating they are glad even the boss finds our hacker coverage story interesting. If anyone holds the true key to Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, it's likely you, Elon Musk.
