Grok is from the book Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. It means to understand something so fully you can control it. In the book the main character is raised by Martians which teach him a form of meditation that involves grokking things so he essentially has magical powers over things he understands.

I doubt Elon has read it. He definitely missed the part about understanding things and is rushing for the controlling things.
