Comments about former President Donald Trump’s voice during his interview with Elon Musk on X Monday—during which some users on the platform claimed he was slurring his speech— prompted X’s AI-powered chatbot Grok to briefly push unsubstantiated claims about the former president missing his “dentures.”
During Trump’s discussion with Musk on Spaces, the word “slurring” trended on X with some users, including Vice President Kamala Harris’s official campaign account, pointing out what they thought was Trump lisping and slurring his words.
Posts about Trump’s speech were followed by unsubstantiated speculation about Trump missing his dentures, despite no evidence of the former president wearing dentures.
X’s AI chatbot Grok—which uses artificial intelligence to generate news summaries from trending topics for the platform’s premium subscribers—latched on to these posts and published a summary under the headline “Trump's Dentures In Discussion Amid Speech.”
The summary post, according to a screenshot by the Verge, said many X users “noted that Trump sounded as if he was not wearing his dentures, commenting on his slurred speech and the apparent looseness of his dentures.”
This post, however, was quickly taken down by X and the summary’s link now leads to a blank page.
In a statement to various outlets, the Trump campaign dismissed questions about his voice and only responded with: “It must be your ears.”
