Amazon wouldn’t let Grok Bot buy anything, so it turned to other stores and bought the same item for less. Musk saw this and said: “I do the same thing.”
James Douma posted about it, and Musk quoted him: “I do the same thing—send the Bot elsewhere to buy it for less.” Six minutes later, Shopify CEO Tobi jumped in: “Just in time for Shop Pay support,” and shared an image of a Grok Bot shopping card. Two minutes later, Musk added: “Buy from @Shopify!”
In September, Amazon had just blocked Meta’s Muse, and that same week Shopify enabled Muse to use Shop Pay. Amazon closes one door, and Shopify opens another.
