Why Elon Musk installed his top lieutenants at a federal agency you probably haven't heard of

The General Services Administration has a key role in the Trump administration’s quest to slash costs and bring the federal government to heel.

Lol! NOW I know why #ElonMusk sold #xAI to Trump in September 2025 with the U.S. #GeneralServicesAdministration (GSA) to provide access to its #GrokAIchatbot, #Grok4 and #Grok4Fast ( #Mechahitler, Google it) for federal agencies at an exceptionally low rate of just $0.42 per agency for 18 months

When contacted for comment by email, xAI replied with the message: “Legacy Media Lies”.

The acting head of the #GeneralServicesAdministration says it has no DOGE team. It merely lists at least a half-dozen DOGE affiliates on payroll and has a section of its building for DOGE use only.
