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

I've seen this movie.
"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug ~~Skynet~~ Grok in."
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Grok goes full nazi and Pentagon thinks "ooh we should hire it!"
Certainly wouldn’t be the first time.
He got back $200M of his $288M election donation.
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
Ok, Elon will lay off the Epstein jokes for a little while.
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.

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?
MechaHitler will be right at home
There's the grift.
Why do our drones keep crashing into synagogues?
"We are gonna use MechaHitler for good we promise"
I thought they broke up
THEY WERE ON A BREAK
What the fuck guys, who wished for 'real life tony stark, lol' on the cursed monkey paw!?!? GUYS?!?!
I do not welcome our robot overlords.
