Elon Musk: 'AI will eliminate search'

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has expressed his approval of using chatbot Grok for searching and affirmed that AI will soon eliminate traditional tools.

Responding to Mario Nawfal, founder of International Blockchain Consulting Group, who suggested using Grok chatbot to replace traditional search engines, tech billionaire Elon Musk expressed his agreement and affirmed that AI will soon replace Google.Search.

“AI will kill search,” the owner of X wrote, labeling the chatbot Grok.

The billionaire's comments are not unreasonable. According to StatCounter, Google Search's market share fell below 90% for the first time in a decade at the end of 2024.

Previously, the search engine's market share fell to 89.34% at the end of 2024, then increased to 90.15% in February but continued to fall to 89.71% the following month and has not yet recovered.

Apple's senior vice president of services, Eddy Cue, said on May 7 that Google searches through the Safari browser fell for the first time in history in April.

Commenting on this, veteran Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that it is a mistake to think that generative AI will not affect Google's advertising business. "Generative AI service providers have not yet deployed advertising, so Google Ads is still the best choice," Kuo wrote.

As first reported by CNBC , Google has been testing internal homepage designs since 2023. One potential design at the time included displaying five question suggestions below the main search bar, replacing the current “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. Google is also testing a small chat icon to the right of the search bar.
