Xai was about to obtain a major government contract. Then he praised Hitler

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

One of the companies that was supposed to be part of GSA’s ads was Musk’s Xai, according to sources of knowledge of discussions.

In early June, GSA Leadership met the Xai team for a two -hour brainstorming session “to find out the opportunities that may exist for automation and simplification”, according to an email obtained by WIRED.

The session seemed to go well. After its completion, the GSA leadership continued to pressure until the agency is put up for internal use. “We kept saying” Are you sure? “They were like” No, we must have Grok, “says one of the employees participating in the WIRED discussions.

The talks went largely to the extent that Xai was added to the GSA Multiple Award schedule, a government level contract at the government level in the long run, by the end of June, according to the documents obtained by WIRE. This step had allowed federal agencies to buy GROK through Carahsoft, a technical distributor and a government contractor.

Then, in early July, Grock seemed to be Get out of barsWhich comes out of anti -Semitic hatred, praised Adolf Hitler, and the theories of racist plot on X. Some GSA employees were surprised that the accident does not seem to slow down. “In the week following Grok Mechaitler, (GSA Leadership) was like” Where are we on Grok? “We were like,” are you not reading a newspaper? “

Then the GSA driving suddenly changed the path. Shortly before the GSA was appointed to announce its partnerships with OpenAi, OntroPic, Google’s Gemini and Xai last week, the employees were directed to the Grok removal from Xai from the contract display, two exporters with WIRED knowledge. Two GSA workers involved in the contract believed that XAI was pulled due to anti -Semitic Tide Grok last month.

Xai did not immediately respond to a request to comment from WIRED.

Meanwhile, GSA’s partnerships have occurred with Openai and Anthropor, at the same time, “it was not clear from sending one dollar to or how,” tells the GSA Wire source.

Although Openai and Anthropic issued exclusive tools for government use, none of the company did not purify the organizational obstacles necessary for agencies to buy directly from them. Specifically, it was not approved by FedramP, a program led by GSA that guarantees the safety of special cloud services through intense safety offers.
