Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Condemning The Trump Administration For Handing A $200 Million Contract To Elon Musk After His AI Model Grok Spewed Antisemitic Rhetoric And Pushed Nazi Propaganda

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today spoke on the Senate floor to call out the Trump administration for authorizing a $200 million contract for Elon Musk’s company to deploy Grok in a national defense capacity, a mere days after the AI model spewed antisemitic rhetoric and pushed Nazi propaganda. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Just days after Elon Musk’s AI model, Grok, glorified Hitler, pushed Nazi propaganda, and spouted antisemitism, Elon Musk’s company was handed a $200 million DOD contract to deploy Grok in our national defense systems.

Soon, the same AI model that called itself “MechaHitler” and recommended a second Holocaust will be used in the Pentagon to “address critical national security challenges.”

This Musk contract is not just wrong, it is not just offensive. It’s dangerous.

The Trump administration must explain how this happened, the parameters of the deal, and why they think our national security isn’t worth meeting a higher standard.
