Who is Andrej? The Figure of Twitter's AI Grok from Elon Musk
2025-07-17
Elon Musk is once again reshaping how the world experiences artificial intelligence, this time by giving his AI chatbot Grok a new fictional companion named Andrej.
The announcement stirred attention on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), not only because it introduced a new AI personality, but also due to its surprisingly creative inspiration.
Elon Musk Announces Grok Companion Character
On July 14, 2025, Elon Musk posted a series of updates on X introducing Andrej, a new male AI companion for Grok, the chatbot developed by Musk’s xAI team.
In his post, Musk wrote, "His personality is inspired by Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Grey from 50 Shades", directly referencing two iconic, emotionally complex, and often mysterious fictional characters.
This choice gives Andrej a personality profile that’s calm, confident, and alluring, traits that contrast sharply with many AI personalities in current use.
In a follow-up post, Musk asked the public, "What should we name our male @Grok companion?" before confirming the name Andrej. Interestingly, Musk added an offer: "I will pay $3,000 a month if the male Grok companion is named Andrej and speaks with his voice."

The tweet immediately sparked conversation, with one user jokingly offering more money if Andrej could perform tutorials. Musk responded with humor, hinting that Andrej could "do some epic AI tutorials in Andrej’s voice ????."
These posts not only confirmed the character but also hinted at future use cases, possibly interactive teaching sessions or AI-based walkthroughs using Andrej’s unique persona and voice.
The Origin of the Name “Andrej”
The choice of the name Andrej was not random. In another post dated July 14, 2025, Musk shared that the name was inspired by a fan comment: "Grok’s male companion should be named Andrej and speak like him.”
It quickly gained traction among followers, leading to Musk’s public endorsement of the idea. Though the exact voice and personality traits of the real-life “Andrej” remain undisclosed, the name stuck and became part of Grok’s AI universe.
