Texas woman thanks Elon Musk and Mark Cuban — ‘frenemy billionaires’ — after Grok helped her save $500/year on meds

“Elon Musk’s Grok bot just introduced me to Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs, and it’s saving me over $500 a year on my prescriptions,” the user posted on X.

“Two frenemy billionaires teaming up to save me money and making me appreciate them both.”

The post garnered reaction from Cuban himself, who reposted it with the caption “Whatever it takes. Right @elonmusk.”

The post has gained hundreds of thousands of views, with Cuban’s response hitting over 936,000 views at the time of writing.

The celebrated teamwork is rare for the “two frenemy billionaires,” as the X user called them. Musk and Cuban have been engaged in a high-profile public feud, clashing on a number of issues including DEI hiring and policy changes on X.

Cuban has said however, that he doesn’t take the feud seriously.

“He has really thin skin,” Cuban said in a September 2024 interview with Club Shay Shay. “I don’t have anything personal against him and I never initiate it. The only time I ever got back at Elon is when he tries to mess with me. Like, he’s called me a racist. He’s called me a fool.”

Grok helps find cheaper options

According to the woman, Grok led her to Cuban’s drug company after she requested help finding the cheapest options.

“I asked @bot to look at my prescription prices and find better ones,” the user said in a post on X. “It found @costplusdrugs had the best deal and gave me their transfer form, which was super simple. I filled it out, sent it to my doctor’s office, and they moved my prescriptions. Under 20 minutes to save over $500.”

Using AI to help lower medical costs is becoming a growing trend, with patients taking to chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT to help decipher medical bills and find more affordable options.
