Tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed surprise after his artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, claimed that Nigeria recorded about four million more births than the entire European Union in 2025.
The exchange, shared by Musk on X on Saturday, began with a user asking whether Nigeria had one million more births than the EU last year.
Responding, Grok dismissed the claim, saying the difference was significantly larger.
“Nigeria had roughly 7.5 million births last year, while the EU had about 3.5 million. That’s a difference of around four million more births in Nigeria, not one million. The claim seems to be a misremembered version of a comparison to all of Europe including Russia,” the chatbot said.
Apparently surprised by the figures, Musk followed up by asking Grok:
“Are you, wait. Are you sure that Nigeria had 4 million births than the EU last year?”
Grok maintained its position.
