Media Storm founder Tim (Pan Tianhong) has announced plans to use Grok to randomly select 100 winners for an iPhone giveaway on X. In an announcement reported on 2026-10-24, he said results would be announced within 24 hours. Participation requires users to follow his account, like the relevant post and repost it.
The giveaway follows a post on 2026-10-22 in which Tim said his iPhone Duo video had gone viral, reaching 56.98 million views. He cited that reach as the reason for giving away 100 iPhones on X; the audience figure was his stated tally.
Grok’s announced role is to select winners from eligible users, putting it at the center of allocating the prizes. But the post did not specify exactly how Grok would conduct the drawing. The claim that selection will be random therefore describes the promised process, without explaining how that randomness will be achieved.
The next promised step is publication of the results within the stated 24-hour window. That commitment gives participants a timetable, while the method for turning eligible entries into a list of winners remains unspecified.
