March 26 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said on Tuesday

artificial intelligence startup xAI's chatbot, Grok, will be

enabled for all premium subscribers of social media platform X,

formerly Twitter.

He announced it in a post on X, without revealing any more

details. Previously, the chatbot was available only to Premium+

subscribers.

As more advertisers move away from the microblogging

platform, the billionaire has stressed reducing the company's

reliance on advertising and has turned his focus to more

attractive subscription plans.

Earlier this month, Musk said xAI would open-source Grok,

after he sued OpenAI for allegedly abandoning its original

mission in favor of a for-profit model.

The move could give the public free access to experiment

with the code behind the technology and aligns xAI with firms

such as Meta and France's Mistral, both of which have

open-source AI models.
