GoKawiilMusk exposes order details while touting Grok shopping bot on X
Elon Musk posted a screenshot on X showing his Grok AI agent placing a Lego Star Wars order, inadvertently revealing the order number, purchase amount, billing and delivery addresses, partial credit card digits, and the email tied to the purchase. X users quickly used that information to interact with Lego's customer service chatbot, with one account claiming to cancel the order and another claiming to alter it, increasing the quantity to 400 sets and changing the delivery address using Musk's payment details. Musk later said his order had not actually been canceled, and Lego declined to confirm the incident when asked by WIRED.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The episode illustrates how easily personal and financial details can leak when AI shopping agents generate shareable receipts or confirmations, especially from high-profile accounts with huge followings. It raises questions about the security safeguards built into both AI purchasing assistants like Grok and retailer-side chatbots like Lego's 'Sophia,' which appear to accept order modifications based on limited verification. The incident could prompt scrutiny of how companies deploying AI customer service tools authenticate requests tied to sensitive order data.

- X users allegedly exploited Lego's AI chatbot 'Sophia' to cancel and later modify the order using the leaked information.
