Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), has caused agitation among the tech and crypto communities by engaging with his upcoming Grok 2 AI and the popular Solana-based meme coin, Dogwifhat (WIF). This has led many people to ask questions about the potential role of AI in the rapidly changing world of cryptocurrency.
In addition to announcing that he will be releasing an advanced version of his language model AI called Grok 2 in August, Elon Musk also shared some other exciting details about what users can expect from this system. One such upgrade includes giving it the ability to perform real-time web searches to always provide current events or facts when asked.

Another anticipated feature is the ability for AI to generate images using natural language input. These developments have attracted interest within the Dogwifhat community, especially where one holder asked Musk on X if Grok 2 can create Dogwifhat memes directly.
Elon Musk’s interaction sends ripples through the crypto community
The turning point came when a Dogwifhat fan asked Musk if Grok 2 could generate memes about the meme coin. Dogwifhat holders and the wider crypto community were immediately drawn to Musk’s response, which was a simple 100 emoji. Though it is not clear what exactly Grok 2 will offer in terms of generating memes, this short connection has sparked anticipation and guesswork.

Dogwifhat has quickly become a major player in the Solana ecosystem since its inception in November 2023. With market capitalization worth billions and an ever-growing number of people who hold it, this coin is a symbol of how much influence memes can have on the cryptocurrency space. Musk’s unobtrusive recognition of Dogwifhat is seen by most as him hinting at possible AI integration into meme coin culture.
As Musk continues to build anticipation for Grok 2, it becomes increasingly clear that artificial intelligence may soon become involved with content creation within crypto spaces. No one knows for sure what exactly is capable of making memes on Grok 2, but they will evaluate it based on MATH or HumanEval metrics, which show how well AI solves problems.
