TREE NEWS update: Chinese video creator Tim (Pan Tianhong), founder of Media Storm, will announce the winners of a giveaway of 100 iPhones on X within 24 hours, selecting them randomly from eligible users with Grok. To enter, users must follow his account, like and repost the post. Tim had said on Oct. 22 that his iPhone Duo video had reached 56.98 million views, prompting the giveaway. The post did not explain how Grok would conduct the draw.
Chinese creator Tim to give away 100 iPhones on X using Grok
This is less about the phones than about platform mechanics and audience growth: a Chinese creator using X, Grok, and a follow-and-repost gate to convert a viral moment into follower acquisition. The notable gap is the absence of any detail on how Grok actually conducts the random draw, which makes the fairness claim hard to verify. For creators and platform watchers, the question worth following is whether AI-branded giveaways become a standard engagement tool, and whether the selection process gets disclosed or audited.
