Elon Musk’s latest social media post has inspired a mix of laughter and curiosity online.
On October 14, 2025, the tech billionaire encouraged users to try a new text prompt, “add a girlfriend”, on Grok Imagine, his AI-powered image generation tool available on X (formerly Twitter).
In a short demonstration video, Musk showcased a playful clip featuring an animated banana “with a girlfriend,” inviting users to experiment with the same idea.

The post quickly went viral, with users creating their own comical interpretations using the prompt.
Social media feeds soon filled with lighthearted and exaggerated videos, from users adding fictional partners to pets, to anime-inspired companions, and even surreal edits involving llamas.
Some leaned into self-deprecating humor, while others took the chance to test the AI tool’s creative range.
While the trend has amused many, it also highlights how AI-generated content can easily become part of online culture.
The “add a girlfriend” prompt now joins a growing list of viral Grok Imagine experiments that showcase the blend of humor, absurdity, and digital creativity driving user engagement on the platform.
