Days after SpaceX secured a $739 million (£598 million) defence contract with the US Space Force, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth travelled to the company's South Texas headquarters on Monday to unveil an artificial intelligence strategy for the Pentagon alongside Elon Musk.
During his speech at the Starbase facility, Hegseth announced the War Department will deploy both Musk's Grok AI platform and Google's Gemini AI model across all classified and unclassified military networks this month, according to Fox Business.
