The price of a memecoin drawing its namesake from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence project “Grok” plummeted over 70% after blockchain sleuth ZachXBT alleged the token’s social media account was recycled from a scam token project.
In a Nov. 13 X (formerly Twitter) post, ZachXBT shared screenshots showing various social media accounts and websites tied to the Grok (GROK) token were repurposed from old projects — including an abandoned memecoin project called ANDY — which has significantly declined from its all-time high.
Not that people in this space will care but @GROKERC20 $GROK was created by a scammer.
Same exact X/Twitter account has been reused for at least one other scam.

In the five hours following ZachXBT’s post, memecoin enthusiasts watched as GROK plunged 74% from its all-time high of $0.027 to as low as $0.007. Its price has since retracted to $0.011, per DexTools data.
In a follow-up post, ZachXBT pointed to an Etherscan transaction showing GROK’s team sent roughly $1.7 million worth of the token to a burn address in a bid to reduce supply and restore confidence in the token.
