Headline: Elon Musk Reacts After Grok Is Asked to Hack Satoshi’s Bitcoin Wallet — Here’s What Actually Happened
A lighthearted moment on X (formerly Twitter) quickly caught fire in the crypto community when a user jokingly offered $200 to Grok — xAI’s chatbot — to hack Satoshi Nakamoto’s legendary Bitcoin wallet.
Grok responded in kind, playfully but firmly shutting down the idea. It explained that attempting to brute-force a 256-bit private key would take roughly 10⁵² years, even with every GPU on Earth working nonstop — in other words, mathematically impossible.
Elon Musk, founder of xAI, chimed in with a single “😂” emoji. That simple reaction fueled a flurry of speculation online — not about Grok’s real capabilities, but about the enduring enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto.
🧠 TL;DR
Can Grok hack Satoshi’s wallet?
No — the cryptography behind Bitcoin (SHA-256) is effectively unbreakable with current or foreseeable technology.
What did Elon Musk say?
Just a “😂” — a tongue-in-cheek response that nonetheless stirred online debate.
Why does it matter?
It underscores the security of Bitcoin and reminds us of the unsolved mystery of Satoshi’s identity.
What’s Satoshi’s wallet worth?
With ~1.03M BTC and Bitcoin priced around $118K, Satoshi’s holdings would eclipse Musk’s net worth if BTC hits ~$336K per coin.
