Elon Musk’s DOGE team is expanding use of his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok in the U.S. federal government to analyze data, said three people familiar with the matter, potentially violating conflict-of-interest laws and putting at risk sensitive information on millions of Americans.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has pushed back on Bill Gates’s claim that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will endanger the lives of millions of children. Musk was appointed to run DOGE by President Trump when he won the Oval Office, after the duo formed a political alliance ahead of the November election.

Wired reviewed materials showing that affiliates of Elon Musk's DOGE working in the Office of Personnel Management "tested and used Meta’s Llama 2 model to review and classify responses from federal workers to the infamous 'Fork in the Road' email that was sent across the government in late January."

Gates accused the Tesla CEO and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) chief of recklessly gutting US foreign aid programs.
