The Pentagon’s about to start using xAI’s Grok — and other federal agencies could be next

• Elon Musk‘s xAI announced “Grok for Government” on Monday.
• The company signed a contract with the Department of Defense for up to $200 million.
• The service will also be made available to other federal government agencies.

Elon Musk’s xAI is launching a new government-facing service. Its first client happens to be the largest employer on Earth.

The Department of Defense will pay up to $200 million for “Grok for Government,” a new collection of AI products geared toward use by federal, local, and state governments.

The department has also awarded similar contracts to Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, which launched its own government-facing initiative last month.
