No, no - It's because it's mechahitler that this contract is now in place.

Grok goes full nazi and Pentagon thinks "ooh we should hire it!"
Certainly wouldn’t be the first time.
And here I thought Trump and musk were no longer buddies.
“Bro, let’s pretend like you hate me so people buy my cars again”
This is probably Trump trying to get Musk to shut up about Epstein.
Trump is letting the baby have its bottle. that's all this is. hand him a cookie every now and again so he stops crying. The administration is treating Musk like a toddler.
That doesn't make sense. The US government doesn't have to treat musk at all.
It's quid pro quo. The only question is what for

Oh I can't wait until 7 astronauts explode because fucking Grok told the construction team not to bother with the O-rings.
We don't use O rings because there's no 'O' in "Hitler"
I understood that reference.
He got back $200M of his $288M election donation.
It’s even worse when you remember the news from just the other day that grok is looking at elon’s tweets to determine it’s opinion on topics
That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.
I've seen this movie.
"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug ~~Skynet~~ Grok in."
As we all know, Hitler was a brilliant mind regarding military matters. Mecha Hitler can only improve on that!
/S. Seriously, the bastard wasn't competent at military affairs. Thankfully. Here's hoping that Grok guides Musk and company into the grave.

Dude you can just fucking download open LLM models suited for particular tasks and get a semi competent team of programmers/IT/engineers to do whatever Grok does much better for a minute fraction of that cost. Talk about the department of government inefficiency.

Living outside the US I'm not sure if I should be glad or terrified by the Pentagon's incompetence in these worrying times. Maybe I'm... I don't know, 20% glad and 80% terrified? Sounds about right.

MechaHitler will be right at home
I for one am celebrating the Trump administration's commitment to ending US military hegemony.
go figure the us military is infested with AI from grok, and palintir.
Why do our drones keep crashing into synagogues?
The UN should consider nuking this.. this … whatever it is that is left of the USA to Kingdom Come.
I identify strongly with the frustration in this sentiment.
But you do realise the US is the foremost nuclear power in the world? Right?
That's why the world should have done anything and everything possible to keep US from falling into fascist hands. But now it's too late.

Ok, Elon will lay off the Epstein jokes for a little while.
oh no are you telling me that the breakup between fascist A and fascist B was just play theater?! who could have ever seen that coming omg.... what a surprise this world is
Remember when the Pentagon spent something like 600 million dollars in new accounting software to find the missing 400 million dollars? Something like that. I'm guessing this deal was made when they were still buddies and the Pentagon is just now getting around to it considering the speed of government is slower than constipated molasses. I'm also imagining someone just rubber stamping anything coming across their desk and this is how we got here. If there is any hope, Grok will be shoved into a corner doing nothing except earning dividends for that ketamine fueled moron and and fall in line with the Pentagon's egregious wasteful spending that nobody in congress seems to care about.
See?! I knew Elon and his main minion Trump were playfighting.
he was trying to force more contracts out of him, it was a show. he doesnt want the files released anymore than trump is, hes on it as well.
What could possibly go wrong?
The new offering includes custom national security tools, AI-powered science and health applications, and cleared engineering support for classified environments.
What happens in the SCIF stays in the…oh fuck it, never mind - send it to the cloud for processing. What could go wrong?
There's the grift.
