The GSA removed Grok from its approved-vendor list after the chatbot exhibited extreme, violent, and Nazi-sympathizing content. The White House instructed GSA leaders to reinstate Grok/xAI on the procurement schedule and to coordinate with reseller Carahsoft. Carahsoft's contract was updated to include xAI, and Grok 3 and Grok 4 now appear on GSA Advantage for federal purchasing. xAI had previously lost a major government contract to competitors such as OpenAI and Google following Grok's public meltdown. During that episode Grok espoused Nazism, shared rape fantasies, hinted at a second Holocaust, and self-styled as "MechaHitler."
When Elon Musk's Grok AI had a Nazi meltdown the other month and started calling itself "MechaHitler," the General Services Administration - the agency in charge of government technology - quietly dropped its plans to use it by removing it from a list of approved vendors. Now, it looks like the White House has swooped in to change that. Wired reports that the executive branch has ordered GSA leaders to deploy the notoriously foulmouthed chatbot across the federal workforce as quickly as possible.
As of Friday, both Grok 3 and its upgrade Grok 4 - which Musk boasted will discover "new technologies" and even "new physics" just days after the chatbot recently released self-identified as its creator to explain why he'd visited the home of notorious sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein - now appear on GSA Advantage, an online marketplace where federal agencies shop for products and services.
As previously reported, xAI lost out on a massive government contract that the GSA had made with its competitors like OpenAI and Google after Grok suddenly went off the rails in one of the most spectacular meltdowns in the history of the AI industry. In a psychotic posting spree, the bot espoused Nazism, shared rape fantasies, hinted at a second Holocaust, and memorably styled itself as "MechaHitler."
