Maye Musk Shares Simple Guide For Grok AI Videos

Maye Musk's Simple Guide to AI Video Creation

In a recent post on the X platform, Maye Musk offered her followers a straightforward guide to a powerful new AI feature. She demonstrated how to use Grok Imagine, a tool that lets users transform any still photograph into a short, animated video directly within the X app. To showcase its capability, she used a personal photo from ten years ago, bringing it to life in a short clip.

Her instructions were clear and simple for anyone to follow: “How to get still photos into videos. This photo is 10 years old. Open @grok and click on Create Videos. On the lower left square with a +, choose a photo. Uploading and Generating Video appear. Then post on X. Imagine.”

The post was accompanied by the video she created, which features her getting out of a car in a multi-coloured dress, demonstrating the tool's effectiveness.

Elon Musk Amplifies the Message

The engaging tutorial quickly caught the attention of her son, tech mogul Elon Musk. He highlighted his mother's post by sharing it with his own followers, simply stating, “How to use @Grok Imagine to turn your photos into videos.”

Adding to the conversation, the official X account for Grok also responded to Elon Musk’s share. “Thanks for the demo, Elon! Grok Imagine turns static photos into dynamic videos effortlessly. Excited to see what users create—upload yours and share!” the AI's account posted, encouraging further user engagement.

How the Public Reacted

The demonstration sparked a lively discussion among social media users, with reactions ranging from excitement to criticism.

Many users were impressed. One person suggested it could be used to preserve memories, writing, “Elon Musk, help your Mother rapidly complete the culmination of her lifetime. Digitise all of her photos to celebrate her life.” Another user remarked, “Maye is so stunning, what wonderful keepsakes these videos are becoming.”

However, some were skeptical, pointing out that similar technology has existed for some time. A critic posted, “I like how all the Musk lovers pretend like GPT didn’t do this 2 years ago,” highlighting the competitive nature of the AI landscape.
