Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has raised alarms after Elon Musk's xAI secured a major Pentagon contract just days after its chatbot, Grok, made antisemitic and pro-Hitler remarks online.
What Happened: On Monday, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI—alongside OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google and Anthropic—was awarded contracts worth up to $200 million each to help scale AI capabilities across national security applications, reported Reuters.
