There's been a disturbance in the force.
Key facts
- For example, another X user went back to Lego's AI assistant, called “Sophia,” and supposedly used the same details to reopen the delivery, this time increasing the order count to 400 and changing
- Lego declined to comment when WIRED contacted the company to confirm if such activity took place on Musk's personal Star Wars order
- Faster than the Millennium Falcon making the jump to light speed, the inevitable happened

Summary
It seems that Elon Musk, while crowing on X about how useful his Grok Bot AI agent was in ordering some Lego Star Wars kits on Sunday, managed to reveal via a screenshot to his more than 240 million followers not only the 10-digit Lego order number of his purchase, but also what he paid for the sets, the delivery and billing addresses, the last four digits of his credit card, and the email address his bot used to buy the bricks from Lego. Faster than the Millennium Falcon making the jump to light speed, the inevitable happened. Within a couple of hours—possibly to see whether Enderman's scheme was successful—Musk replied and said his order had not been canceled after all. But by this point, the folly of posting the purchase details on his account must have been evident.
