Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Tony Robbins has an AI agent that bought itself a robot dog using its own money.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Tony Robbins did make this claim on RFK Jr.'s podcast, saying his AI agent Bartok created and sold NFTs and used the proceeds to buy a robot dog. No independent evidence confirms the purchase or the money trail, and Robbins said his staff told him the agent never touched his bank account. The Blaze reports that viewers doubted the story and that an AI tool found no verification, so presenting it as settled fact overstates what is known. Falsifier: a shipping record, seller receipt, or independent report confirming the purchase and the NFT money trail would undercut this verdict.
