Found what looks like an upcoming Grok Academy hidden behind a password page. I dug into the site and uncovered what appears to be a 15-course curriculum covering AI, Grok Bot, and agent development. Even more interesting? It may include certificates upon completion. 1/2 Here's what I found. 👇

Did @elonmusk rug Grok Bot users? Lowered caps? No. He didn't. 1/5 Let's break down the numbers. 🧵👇

DO GROK USERS NOW HAVE REDUCED USAGE AFTER ELON'S X REPONSE? - Has usage been reduced for users after November 1? - How much value of my Grok & Grok bot usage is being subsidized? - Bonus: Legacy SuperGrok vs. new X Subscription Details 👇

Me: Already asking Grok @bot if a Lambo is better than a Porsche

No need to grab me. I'm coming willingly.

NNN Study feat. @OpenAI vs @GeminiApp vs @grok (November 2026)

Boss: Deadline is in 3 days. Me: (Limit resets in 5 days) Me: No, we need 1 week. Boss: Me:

GROK BOT ISSUE FIXED - CHECK YOURS Woke up to see my missing usage back to my Grok @bot. Check yours too. 👍 If it's still not fixed, here's what I did that you could do too: - Sent a feedback through the support button in the grok bot desktop app - Sent an email to support@xai.com about the same issue with screenshots While elon's post can be interpreted in so many ways, we can't all deny that trust for the product has since been negatively impacted after yesterday's incident. It sucks, grok bot melds with my workflows perfectly, it's the easiest ai agent harness I've used. I've backed up my workflows, got hermes handling it for now, and I'm shopping for alternatives today. I still love grok bot but I can't work with it with full confidence anymore, knowing my usage might go missing again. Then it happens, and they'll just tell you to pay more.

The issue isn't whether what Elon said is acceptable or not, it's the fact that the sudden usage bump was an uncommunicated change. No announcement, no heads up, nada. No one wants a product where you're paranoid that the usage can disappear randomly anytime, without notice.

Since the recent Grok @bot issue (sudden 100% limit) is still not fixed for most users as of now, and with no official announcement.. @poteto @pengzheng_ a free limit reset doesn't seem to be a big ask. 🤏 Agree?

How to check if X is limiting your posts (and what to do) The Under the Hood report is currently the best official signal, X currently gives. 1/7 X doesn’t officially use the word “shadowban,” but it does limit the reach of some posts and accounts. Here’s the practical way to check and what to do about it. 2/7 Step 1: Check Under the Hood Log in and go to: xitter.twitterapi.xyz/i/under_the_hood This shows if any of your posts got a visibility-limiting label (the closest official thing to a shadowban). Requirements: account 1+ year old + 10 posts last month + pilot access. 3/7 What you’ll see: • Labels like SPAM_HIGH_RECALL • What the label means • Effect (usually “hidden from recommendations to non-followers”) • Specific posts listed if under 5% were flagged 4/7 Step 2: Other quick checks • Search for your recent posts from a logged-out browser or an account that doesn’t follow you • Ask someone who doesn’t follow you if they can see your latest posts in search or replies • Look at your impressions — sudden drops with no content change are a signal 5/7 How to fix it If you have labeled posts: • Review the specific posts • Appeal the label if you think it’s a mistake (via the post or Help Center) 6/7 Behavioral fixes that help most people: • Cut down heavy reply-guy activity • Stop rapid following/unfollowing • Avoid repetitive posts or link spam • Post more original content instead of only replying • Keep your account clean (complete profile, 2FA, no strikes) 7/7 Most limits ease after the pattern that triggered them stops. There’s no instant “unshadowban” button — check Under the Hood, fix the behavior, and give it time. A clean Under the Hood report doesn’t guarantee reach, but it’s the best official signal X currently gives.

Hey X friends! Would appreciate the support for this opensource project I just finished! 🥲 Joining the #opensourcehiggsfield challenge by @ComfyUI with my app, DropCut. 🎬 Drop photos and a song and let the music edit the reel. Made the engine to do cuts synced to the beat of the song, perfect for a promo / marketing video! It's opensource so you can fork it and host it yourself. Mostly used my precious Grok @bot limit for it. 🥲 Repo: github.com/venthewise/dropcu… Feedback and comments appreciated!

Are you building on ai and tech? I'm Ventus, 36. Ex Tech-Startup founder, now all-in on ai and automations. Let's connect!

Finally done with the build for @ComfyUI's #OpenSourceHiggsfield Challenge. 😴 DropCut is a one-tap reel maker built fully on open-source ComfyUI. An open-source rebuild of Higgsfield's Urban Cuts and Marketing Studio, built on ComfyUI and LTX-2.5 as it's core. Any photos, 5 to 60 second reels, up to 10 photos, every photo animated (Image to Video) and captioned on its own, every cut on the beat. You get a reel that's ready to post in minutes. Others made the same concept for general use. This one is catered to marketing needs like Higgsfield's Marketing Studio. ComfyUI version. Made for small businesses, gig nights, listings, launches and anyone who'd rather post than edit.

Still busy af. Banger gifs for now.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Finally hitting the 1k follower mark is insane to me! 🤯 What started as a fun side-project last October 19, of growing on X has been fun and addicting so far. Ai mfers are the most awesome people here on X. On to the next.

5090 is out of reach. Bought this 2 months ago and the price already up 30% today. Was it a good decision? Or am I cooked? 🥲

One of the things I love about Grok @bot , when doing UI product designs, is that i can actually make it do a local render on its own computer. My device stays free, commits only happen when I approve its proposal so no changes til then! Bonus: it consumes way less tokens than actually doing a code commit then changing it afterwards if you don’t like it.

I asked my Temu-Jarvis, Jervis, about ai news in X. AND YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT'S ANSWER. Especially on the news about Grok @bot. 🤯 I set it up to be powered by @_inception_ai 's Mercury 3 for testing, with swappable models when I want.
