Time: Trump discussed Maduro’s capture at a meeting with Grok

RBC, citing Time, writes that in December 2025, Donald Trump discussed his plans related to Nicolás Maduro with the Grok neural network at a secret meeting in the White House. According to the publication, billionaire Elon Musk, owner of xAI, which develops Grok, came to the meeting.

Trump asked the neural network not only how Venezuelans would react if American troops captured their president, but also about his own presidency and political legacy. Grok replied that Maduro is a repressive and extremely unpopular dictator, and that the people of Venezuela would celebrate his capture.

Time sources said that after the meeting, Trump considered Grok “genius”. According to the publication, Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were captured by U.S. special forces on January 3 during a U.S. military operation in Venezuela. The trial of the couple is due to begin in June 2027, and both claim their innocence.
