White House Orders GSA to Add Musk's Grok AI to Federal Vendor List 'ASAP' Despite Antisemitic Content

The White House ordered the General Services Administration (GSA) to add Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to the approved vendor list for federal agencies ‘as soon as possible,’ despite the AI system’s documented history of producing antisemitic content and demonstrating instability in testing. The directive bypasses normal procurement processes that evaluate vendor qualifications, security risks, and past performance. Forcing an unstable AI system with known content moderation failures into federal government systems raises serious concerns about data security, bias in government decision-making, and the integrity of federal communications. The order represents a clear quid pro quo arrangement rewarding Musk for his political support and DOGE role by directing government contracts to his companies regardless of merit. This loyalty-based procurement corrupts competitive bidding processes designed to ensure taxpayers receive quality services at fair prices, instead treating federal contracts as political favors to be distributed among Trump’s allies and financial backers.
