Elon Musk has promised to fix the mess around people’s timeline on X and he is now relying on Grok AI to make it better
Update your X app and get the new Following tab timeline organised by Grok AI chatbot, as confirmed by X Chief Elon Musk in a post on Thursday. The platform has been working behind the scenes to change the way the timeline algorithm works and it seems Musk has finally resorted to AI’s expertise to fix the Following tab mess that many people have complained about.
X Following Timeline Update With Grok: What’s New?
The new update means Grok has been given the powers to rearrange the clutter in your timeline and show you relevant posts from people you follow. However, while the post doesn’t say it clearly, it seems the Grok-powered timeline cleanup is limited to the US region for now and you need the X app on iPhone to see the changes.
Update your 𝕏 app and look at your Following timeline.
Posts of people you follow are now ranked by @Grok!
You can still access unfiltered chronological if you want.

He doesn’t explain what Grok is doing to make the changes, but some users have shared their feedback after getting the refreshed timeline and they seem to like the work done by the AI chatbot.
But the platform is giving users the choice to use the timeline differently. So in case you don’t want the Grok-powered timeline cleanup, you get an arrow next to the Following tab from where you can use the normal chronological order to view the timeline. We haven’t been able to test the new update on X but will be keeping a close eye on the changes that should be available soon.
Meanwhile, X Premium users are getting a special first-month offer which lets you try out the features and Grok AI for just Rs 89 per month or Rs 890 if you want the advanced version. This is part of the third year anniversary of X Premium which lets you sign up for its subscription with the same benefits, including access to Grok AI.
