Tell Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: Cancel Elon Musk’s $200 million AI contract!
First, Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot was on Twitter calling itself ‘MechaHitler,’ repeating antisemitic jokes and conspiracy theories, sexually harassing former company CEO Linda Yaccarino, and spewing out elaborate rape fantasies about a prominent Musk critic.
Less than one week later, the Department of Defense apparently gave Musk a $200 million contract to deploy Grok throughout the DoD.
That’s right, the Pentagon has signed a multi-million dollar deal to begin using Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, as part of a wider rollout of AI tools for government use by the Department of Defense. It includes providing technical support for classified environments and other “custom tools” for national security. All of it without any public transparency on what kind of oversight will be provided to maintain control and protect the public from AI "hallucinations" and fantasies.
We can’t let this unstable AI system anywhere near our bombs. Send a message directly to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and tell him: Cancel Elon Musk’s $200 million AI contract now!
Chief Digital and AI Officer Doug Matty said Grok will be critical to “support warfighters and maintain strategic advantage over our adversaries.” How exactly can MechaHitler do that?
It’s barely been more than a month since President Trump suggested cancelling all of the contracts with SpaceX, Starlink, and Tesla -- contracts that have helped make Elon Musk the richest man on earth.
Trump was right, and Hegseth shouldn’t add another contract for Trump to cancel.
If this deal goes through, it almost certainly won’t be Musk’s last AI contract with the government. That’s just one more reason why it’s so important to stop this contract now.
