Grok seems to be losing steam at a really sensitive moment, giving up ground to rivals. Just weeks after SpaceX’s (SPCX) landmark IPO pushed the company into public markets at a huge valuation, its flagship chatbot’s MAUs are down 5% quarter-over-quarter (QOQ) so far in Q2. That kind of drop naturally puts a shadow over the big growth story that helped get investors excited.
SpaceX did everything right on day one, jumping onto Nasdaq 100 Index ($NDXT) and quickly landing in major indices like the Russell 1000 Index. The move to fold xAI into the business and lean heavily on Grok as a key pillar now faces tougher questions, especially with clear signs that its momentum is slowing.
