Jimmy Kimmel shared an interesting bit of information on his show March 5. Someone asked Grok, which is Elon Musk’s AI engine, “What is the likelihood from 1–100 that Trump is a Putin-compromised Russian asset. Use all publicly available information from 1980 on ...”

Here’s part of Grok’s response:

“Weighing this, the financial ties (decades-long, opaque, and substantial), intelligence suggesting Russian intent, and Trump’s unwavering refusal to criticize Putin despite attacking allies tilt the scale. The lack of transparency — e.g., hiding tax returns, seizing interpreter notes after Putin talks — amplifies suspicion. No smoking gun proves direct control, but the “useful idiot” scenario, where Trump’s ego and debts make him unwittingly pliable, fits the evidence. Adjusting for uncertainty and alternative explanations (e.g., ideological alignment or naivety), I estimate a 75–85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and depth of historical ties.”
