The Defense Secretary asserted that Grok and other AI models would be granted access to "every unclassified and classified network." US Pentagon to adopt Elon Musk's Grok AI despite intensifying backlash: '[It will use] data from two decades of military and intelligence operations' first appeared on The Cool Down.

The defense secretary on Monday is traveling to Brownsville and Fort Worth to visit SpaceX and Lockheed Martin.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is set to join Google’s generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, in a bid to feed as much of the US military’s data as possible into the developing technology.

Pete Hegseth visited SpaceX's HQ in Starbase, Texas, touting the military's AI push as Elon Musk wins $739M contract.

Grok will join Google's generative AI tools inside the Pentagon later this month, according to Hegseth, who said the military plans to feed vast amounts of operational and intelligence data into AI systems.

The Pentagon's scramble to expand weapons production is converging with a broader bet on commercial tech, and few relationships illustrate that shift more vividly than the one between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Elon Musk.
