At the center of this latest controversy is Elon Musk and his AI chatbot, Grok. Sources say Musk’s internal team, known as DOGE, has started using Grok inside the U.S. federal government, according to Ziare.

Grok, developed by Musk’s xAI and launched via his social platform X, is designed to generate responses based on user queries. Experts warn that if it is processing sensitive or personal information from government databases, it may breach long-standing federal laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974.
