#Grok, xAI’s flagship model, reportedly burned through $7.8 billion in just nine months in 2025… yet it’s also set to become a key supplier to the #Pentagon. I’ll pretend for a moment that it’s merely a random contractor with no ties to the U.S. government, and that it’s only being chosen because it happens to be exceptionally good at removing face-covering clothing from photos of ICE agents.
