🚀 Grok: From Mars to Musk's AI 👽

With captions. Follow script: Grok—a word from Mars! Buckle up for the bizarre story of how this name went from sci-fi to AI.” “It kicked off in 1961 with Stranger in a Strange Land, a novel by Robert A. Heinlein. He coined ‘grok’—a Martian term meaning to deeply understand something, like you’re merging with it. It’s not just a word; it’s a whole vibe.” “The book’s hero, a human raised by Martians named Valentine Michael Smith, brings ‘grok’ to Earth. It’s about total connection—feeling what you get. Sci-fi fans and ‘60s dreamers ate it up; it became their code for seeing the world differently.” “Now jump to today: xAI, Elon Musk’s company, picked ‘Grok’ for their AI. They saw it as perfect—a name about digging deep, not skimming the surface. From a Martian language to a tech titan, it’s all thanks to Heinlein’s big idea.” “That’s Grok’s origin—a sci-fi spark turned real. Wild, right? What’s the oddest name you know?
