Part 5/13:
In a strategic move, XAI announced an expansion of its Frontier AI to U.S. federal agencies, providing access to Grock—a powerful AI tool—at a nominal rate of 42 cents per department for 18 months. Elon highlighted that this initiative, partly enabled by the recent “$42 cent deal,” is instrumental in making government institutions more innovative through AI. XAI is also dedicating a team of engineers to assist the government in harnessing AI effectively.
Elon made a sarcastic remark about the revenue generated from these deals, stating, "Thanks to Trump, XAI's frontier AI is now unlocked for every federal agency to innovate faster," implying that the initiative is partly a political nostalgia or a nod to recent political figures.
