John,
Just days after Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, called itself “MechaHitler,” publicly harassed women, and pushed antisemitic conspiracy theories…
…the Department of Defense awarded it a $200 million contract.
You read that right. The Pentagon just agreed to exclusively use Grok, Musk’s chatbot that has continuously spewed hate and disinformation. That means Grok will be used across classified environments and national security systems, with no public transparency about oversight, restrictions, or safety protocols.
We need to act immediately. Will you sign on today to tell Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to cancel this contract now?
Grok has already been deployed on some public platforms, where it’s shown an alarming capacity for abuse by mocking journalists and inventing lies to incite violence. And now, the Department of Defense wants to integrate it into warfighting operations?
Trusting an unstable AI system to handle the Pentagon’s most sensitive matters seems like a recipe for disaster.
Even President Trump, who for months had Elon Musk as his right hand man, has floated the idea of canceling federal contracts with Musk’s companies. So why is Secretary Hegseth adding more?
This needs to stop here and now. Sign on today to tell Defense Secretary Hegseth to cancel Elon Musk’s $200 million AI contract.
Thanks for stepping up. Grok doesn’t belong anywhere near our military systems.
