According to BlockBeats news on August 3, based on a paper released by IBM on the progress of quantum computing research, Musk asked Grok about the probability of quantum computing breaking the Bitcoin algorithm (SHA-256).
Grok replied that, based on assessments from NIST, IBM, and expert surveys regarding 2025, the probability of quantum computing breaking SHA-256 is 'almost 0% in the next 5 years, and will be below 10% by 2035'. This requires millions of error-correcting qubits; while current systems support only about 1,000 noisy qubits at most. The Bitcoin hash is still considered secure.
