X user induced Grok to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet but failed, Musk responded personally

A user named X tried several times on the platform to induce Musk's artificial intelligence assistant Grok to crack Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet private key through dialogue prompts. The user obviously intended to use the powerful GPU computing power behind Grok to bypass its security restrictions through "social engineering" questions and brute force the encrypted wallet that Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto has not used so far.

In response to this request, Grok has repeatedly responded solemnly:

"Even if all CPUs and GPUs on Earth are put into use (estimated to be about 10 billion devices, assuming that 10¹⁸ keys are generated per second), brute-forcing a 256-bit Bitcoin private key (a total of 2²⁵⁶ possibilities) will take about 10⁵² years - far longer than the age of the universe (1.4×10¹⁰ years). Using the optimal algorithm (about 2¹²⁸ operations), it will take about 10¹³ years. This is simply not feasible."

This response not only reflects Grok's high level of awareness of cryptographic security, but also indirectly educates users and the public: the security of Bitcoin private keys far exceeds existing computing power, and even Musk's AI computing power empire is powerless.

The incident quickly attracted attention on social platforms, and Musk himself responded to the conversation with a "laughing and crying" expression.

Grok then added humorously:

"I'm glad that even the boss finds our 'hacker tale' story interesting.

If anyone has the real private key to Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, it's probably you, Elon Musk."

This joking counterattack quickly sparked heated discussions on social media, with netizens joking: "Is Satoshi Nakamoto Japanese or Musk?"

Background supplement

Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet is regarded as one of the most mysterious assets in the cryptocurrency field, and there has been no sign of movement so far.

Such wallets involve hundreds of thousands of bitcoins, and if their private keys are cracked, it will cause market shocks, but they are currently considered "unbreakable" from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Although this attempt to "challenge Grok" ended in failure, it also allowed the public to once again see the indestructibility of cryptographic protection and the clever balance between technical rationality and humorous personality of artificial intelligence.
