Elon Musk's Grok AI to be used by US government at a price of 42 cents per agency — Trump admin joining Meta, OpenAI in recent trend of AI govt contracts

Elon Musk's xAI's Grok AI chatbot has been approved for use by the U.S. government at a cost of 42 cents per agency, marking the longest AI contract signed by the government. The deal includes dedicated support and training programs for federal agencies. This move aligns with the government's OneGov initiative to enhance productivity with AI tools. Despite past tensions between Musk and Trump, this partnership suggests a potential reconciliation between the two. Civil rights groups have raised concerns about Grok's ideological responses in the past, prompting xAI to address and prevent such incidents in the future.
