Elon Musk is in a legal fight with Microsoft but made a virtual appearance at the software giant’s annual developer conference to reveal that Microsoft's cloud computing platform will now host Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok.

Billionaire Elon Musk’s DOGE team is expanding use of his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok in the U.S. federal government to analyze data, said three people familiar with the matter, potentially violating conflict-of-interest laws and putting at risk sensitive information on millions of Americans.

What Happened: Greene voiced her concerns about Grok after the AI chatbot challenged her Christian beliefs. The chatbot, a product of Musk’s xAI and available on X, responded to a user’s question about Greene’s religious affiliation by labeling it as “subjective.”

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, says an “unauthorized modification” led its Grok chatbot to post unsolicited claims on social media about the persecution and “genocide” of white people in South Africa.

The Grok 3.5 launch is imminent, according to references to the model spotted in some lines of code. The latest version of Grok doesn't have an official launch date, but that could be coming any day now since mention of Grok 3.5 has been showing up in xAI's latest web build, according to TestingCatalog, which posted screenshots on X.

Elon Musk has pledged to focus on operational improvements and critical technologies amid rising outages at X.

However, a closer read of Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography of Musk provided a clue, and apparent confirmation. In Chapter 6, Isaacson writes that Elon, shortly after arriving in Canada in 1989, interned in Microsoft’s Toronto office — a detail that supports Nadella’s statement, though it hasn’t been widely discussed elsewhere.
