The dynamic duo is back…
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are back in business.
The General Services Administration, which is responsible for managing the government’s real estate holdings, procurement, and technology services, is partnering with Elon Musk’s xAI in a move it says will cost effectively streamline federal workflow.
Thursday’s announcement from GSA said that federal agencies will now have access to Grok 4 and Grok 4 Fast as part of an agreement with xAI, valid until March 2027, that Musk says will make government drive innovation in government.
“xAI has the most powerful AI compute and most capable AI models in the world,” Musk, co-founder and CEO of xAI, said in a statement to Fox News.
“Thanks to President Trump and his administration, xAI’s frontier AI is now unlocked for every federal agency empowering the U.S. Government to innovate faster and accomplish its mission more effectively than ever before,” Musk added.
“We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country.”
Josh Gruenbaum, federal acquisition service commissioner at the General Services Administration, said in a press release that the new widespread access to AI models is an “essential” tool not only in fulfilling Trump’s promise that the United States will win the AI race, but also for “building the efficient, accountable government that taxpayers deserve.”
As part of the agreement, xAI engineers will provide full support in order to “accelerate the adoption of Grok to transform government operations.”
The agreement between GSA and xAI will be effective immediately.
Trump has made U.S. artificial intelligence growth a focus of his administration. So far, Trump has achieved securing multi-billion-dollar deals with high-tech firms such as Oracle and OpenAI for the Stargate project, which is an effort to launch large data centers in the U.S, as well as a $90 billion energy and tech investment deal specifically for the state of Pennsylvania to make it the U.S. hub for AI.
After completing his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in late May and a public falling out with Trump, Musk was seen sitting next to and talking with Trump at the memorial service for Charlie Kirk last weekend in Arizona, suggesting a possible rekindling of their friendship.
“Elon came over and said hello,” Trump said to reporters after the event. “I thought it was nice, he came over, we had a little conversation.”
