The Pentagon has signed a $200 million deal with Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, to use its Grok software for government applications. Despite Grok's recent controversy over antisemitic statements, the software has been updated to Grok 4, which Musk claims can reason at "superhuman levels." The contract allows any federal office to adopt the technology through the General Services Administration.
