A simple question asked of "Grok," Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot on X, shows that Democrats outperform Republicans when it comes to the economy.
"Hey @grok, Who was better for the economy in the last 30 years, Republicans or Democrats?"
Grok's answer..."Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy. GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans. Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents. Data speaks louder than party lines."
Another question to Grok: "Hey @grok, who was the better economic president in terms of jobs, GDP, unemployment, and stock market: Biden or Trump?"
Grok's answer..."Biden added 15.7M jobs, with unemployment dropping to 3.4%—a 53-year low. Trump lost 3M jobs by the end,
even pre-COVID job growth was slower. GDP growth was close: 2.6% under Trump (2017-2019), 2.3% under Biden (since 2022). Stock market: S&P gained 11% under Biden, but Trump’s era had a bigger Wall Street euphoria. Unemployment spiked to 14.7% in 2020 under Trump—highest ever."
So as Grok says, "Data is clear, you decide."
