tl;dr: Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) crew has quietly hooked its custom Grok AI chatbot up to sensitive federal databases—stuff scooped up by the U.S. government—to sniff out “disloyal” civil servants supposedly not toeing Donald Trump’s agenda. Reuters sources say DOGE is pushing agencies (including unapproved use at DHS) to feed personal info into Grok, raising red flags over privacy breaches, conflict-of-interest laws and national-security risks.
Privacy watchdogs and former ethics officials warn that funneling millions of Americans’ private data into Musk’s AI could be illegal and give xAI an unfair edge. There are even reports DOGE managers directed AI training to flag government employees’ “loyalty” to Trump, though it’s unclear exactly what data was used or if real surveillance took place.
