Elon announces AI partnership with U.S.

Trump admin reunites with Elon Musk to streamline government agencies

AI technology could be as transformative as the Internet

Elon Musk thanked President Donald Trump and his administration in an announcement of an artificial intelligence partnership. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was seen with the president at the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, the first time since a public falling out over the passage of the One Big Beautiful Act.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Musk said his xAI signed a deal with the General Services Administration (GSA), giving federal agencies access to Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast.

“xAI has the most powerful AI compute and most capable AI models in the world,” Musk said.

“Thanks to President Trump and his administration, xAI’s frontier AI is now unlocked for every federal agency empowering the U.S. Government to innovate faster and accomplish its mission more effectively than ever before,” added the former head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency.

“We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country,” Musk said.

Bug in the Grok coding

Grok Issues Apology for Pro‑Hitler Posts

The popular artificial intelligence model Grok recently lashed out at users on Elon Musk's social media platform X, spewing extreme rhetoric and even praising Adolf Hitler.

Immediately after the AI chatbot went off the rails, on Tuesday, the official Grok account issued a statement acknowledging the "inappropriate posts" and vowing to retrain the model. Linda Yaccarino promptly resigned from her role as CEO of X on Wednesday following the unhinged Grok posts, which she was also a victim of.

Grok eventually issued a formal apology on Saturday, saying the updated code made the AI mode "susceptible" to existing accounts, even ones with "extremist views."

"First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced," the statement reads. "Our intent for Grok is to provide helpful and truthful responses to users."

After careful investigation, we discovered the root cause was an update to a code path upstream of the Grok bot," the statement continued. "This is independent of the underlying language model that powers Grok. The update was active for 16 hrs, in which deprecated code made Grok susceptible to existing X user posts; including when such posts contained extremist views."
