Elon Musk’s Grok is cleared for federal government use

Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has reached an agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA) to allow federal agencies to purchase its Grok AI models for $0.42 per organization. This 18-month contract is the longest OneGov AI procurement agreement to date, and it is part of the Trump administration's initiative to position the US as the global leader in AI. The deal will provide federal agencies access to the Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast advanced reasoning models, and xAI will also provide dedicated engineers to speed up the implementation of its AI tools for participating agencies. Additionally, the company will offer an "upgrade path" for expanded features and higher rate limits. Despite Elon Musk and Donald Trump's ongoing feud, the White House has remained committed to supporting Musk's AI ambitions. This deal comes after other AI companies, such as Anthropic and OpenAI, have also struck deals with the GSA to provide their AI models to the government.
