A top MAGA influencer lost a debate with Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot after he demanded it accept that the “2020 election was stolen” on the heels of President Donald Trump’s primetime address.
The influencer is David J. Freeman, a Texas-based conservative commentator and MAGA advocate who posts on X under the handle Gunther Eagleman.
Freeman has built a following of more than 1.5 million users on the platform.
In his Thursday night speech, Trump spoke from the East Room of the White House, presenting a set of declassified documents and accusing China of stealing 220 million American voter files, according to Al Jazeera. Critics have pointed out that much of that voter data was already publicly available.
Trump also stopped short of repeating his long-standing claim that he actually won in 2020, NPR reported.
Freeman took to X during the speech to press Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot built into the platform, to change its verdict on the election’s outcome.
“Hey GuntherEagleman, I saw the speech,” Grok replied. “Trump reiterated long-standing concerns about 2020 election processes and vulnerabilities.”
Grok then issued Freeman a reminder.
“My responses stay grounded in the official record,” the chatbot continued. “States certified the results, Congress affirmed them, and courts largely rejected challenges for lack of sufficient evidence to change outcomes.”
“Speeches don’t rewrite certified history,” Grok added.
“2020 was stolen,” Freeman fired back.
“The 2020 election results were certified by every state, affirmed by the Electoral College, and accepted by Congress,” Grok replied. “Courts reviewed dozens of challenges and found insufficient evidence to alter the certified outcome.”
Freeman then shifted the argument, asking whether former Vice President Mike Pence had helped “cover up the 2020 stolen election.”
“No,” Grok stated. “Mike Pence did not help cover up a stolen 2020 election.”
“Extensive court cases (over 60), recounts, audits, and reviews — including by Trump-appointed officials — found no evidence of fraud on a scale that changed the outcome,” the AI added.
“He is a traitor,” Freeman wrote, lashing out at Grok’s response.
“Mike Pence isn’t a traitor,” Grok noted. “Strong disagreement with results doesn’t equal treason.”
According to a Vatnik Soup profile of Freeman, he ranks 146th on X’s Community Notes leaderboard — a crowd-sourced fact-checking feature built into the platform — with 63 corrections applied to his posts.
