Government Directs Users To Musk's Grok
On Feb. 10, 2026, Nextgov/FCW reported the Trump administration’s dietary guidelines portal realfood.gov directs users to Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok for nutrition questions. The placement follows backlash over Grok’s December creation of millions of sexualized deepfakes and earlier racist, antisemitic outputs, and comes amid xAI contracts including up to $200 million with the Defense Department; the site was later edited to remove Grok’s name but still links to grok.com.
Key Points
- 1Directs realfood.gov to link users to Grok for public-facing nutrition Q&A.
- 2Raises concerns because Grok previously produced millions of sexualized deepfakes and biased outputs.
- 3Impacts practice by creating data, privacy, and training-use risks for government AI integrations.
Scoring Rationale
High-impact federal deployment and contracts increase importance; limitation is reliance on reporting without independent technical safety validation.
