President Trump may not support federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company, Grok. Leavitt confirmed he would discuss this with Trump. Tech and AI companies are actively seeking government contracts amid reduced federal barriers for deploying technology. Recently, AI firms like xAI, Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI secured significant contracts valued at $200 million with the Department of Defense. The status of any contracts Grok may have with the DOJ remains uncertain.
"Under the Trump administration, tech and AI companies have been eager to land lucrative government contracts, as federal barriers to deploying their tech get lowered."
"I don't think so, no," Leavitt replied when asked if President Trump supports federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company.
"So he'd then want the DOJ to cancel the contract with Grok?" the reporter asked. Leavitt said: "I'll talk to him about it, yes."
"It's not clear whether Grok has any contracts with the DOJ."
