Musk’s DOGE expanding his Grok AI in US government, raising conflict concerns
- Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is expanding use of the Grok AI chatbot within the U.S. Federal government as of May 2025.
- This expansion follows DOGE staff pushing Homeland Security officials to adopt Grok without formal approval, raising concerns about privacy and conflicts of interest.
- Musk's team accesses sensitive federal databases containing millions of Americans’ personal information, aiming to identify waste, fraud, and inefficiency using a customized Grok version.
- Ethics experts warn Musk’s involvement may breach criminal conflict-of-interest laws, noting DOGE's push appears to serve Musk’s financial interests rather than the public good.
- The use of Grok by DOGE risks violating privacy and national security, and federal employees' access would require government payments to Musk’s organization, intensifying conflict concerns.
