Register an X Account
Register an X (Twitter) account using a Proton or other overseas email.
Subscribe to Premium+
Subscribe to Premium+ in the X settings (this unlocks Grok and the full model). In some regions the subscription requires an international payment method, which a top-up service can handle.
Use Grok Inside X
Once subscribed, you can call Grok for a conversation right from the X interface.
Pros and Cons
Advantages of this registration path
- One track to the end: register an X account → subscribe to Premium+ → use Grok inside X, a short chain
- Payment is solvable: in some regions a top-up service handles it, so WeChat / Alipay work
- All-in-one: after subscribing, both the X platform and Grok are available to you
Limitations / things to note
- The hurdle is the subscription: Grok's core capabilities need the paid Premium+ tier, not the free one
- International payment is often required: in some regions you need a top-up service or an international card
- Finer registration details follow the official flow as it changes
