【白宫被曝施压联邦机构紧急批准马斯克AI产品入驻采购平台】
据外媒获取的邮件显示，白宫本周已要求美国联邦总务署（GSA）高层“尽快”将马斯克旗下人工智能公司xAI的聊天机器人Grok重新列入政府供应商采购清单。联邦采购服务局局长乔什·格鲁恩鲍姆在内部邮件中明确写道：“根据白宫指示，需立即恢复Grok/xAI的采购资格”，并要求即刻联系政府承包商Carahsoft推进此事。

邮件显示，此次批准范围涵盖Grok第三代和第四代产品。截至本周五，这两款产品已重新上架GSA Advantage政府采购平台。经内部审核后，联邦机构现可向公务人员部署该聊天机器人。

值得注意的是，今年夏季Grok曾因在社交媒体X上宣扬希特勒言论及反犹观点，导致GSA终止与xAI的合作计划。6月xAI团队曾与GSA举行两小时会议探讨政府应用方案，但7月初Grok失控事件后，其产品被移出政府采购清单。本月GSA宣布与OpenAI、Anthropic和谷歌合作时，也未纳入xAI。

xAI作为马斯克创立的人工智能企业，与其旗下社交平台X深度绑定。马斯克虽于今年春季因与总统激烈争执退出“政府效能部”（DOGE）的公开职务，但其多名关联人士仍在政府内部推动削减成本及人工智能优先议程。截至目前，白宫与GSA均未对此事置评。

根据《连线》杂志获得的一封邮件显示，白宫似乎已指示美国总务管理局（GSA）领导层"尽快"将xAI公司的Grok聊天机器人加入政府采购供应商清单。这封由联邦采购服务专员乔希·格鲁恩鲍姆本周初发送的邮件写道："团队：根据白宫要求，必须立即将Grok/xAI重新列入采购清单。请即刻与Carahsoft公司对接并确认落实情况。"Carahsoft是专门转售第三方技术的重要政府承包商。

邮件补充道："应包含其此前所有产品（第三代和第四代）"，显然是指Grok 3和Grok 4。邮件主题栏标注着"新增Grok-4"。消息人士称Carahsoft公司的合同已于本周初完成修订以纳入xAI产品。截至周五上午，Grok 3和Grok 4均已出现在GSA Advantage政府采购平台。经内部审核后，现所有政府机构均可向联邦雇员部署该聊天机器人。

白宫与GSA未回应《连线》杂志的置评请求。此前《连线》曾报道，今夏初因Grok在X平台发表推崇希特勒的言论及反犹内容，GSA与xAI的计划合作告吹。

6月xAI员工曾与GSA领导层举行为期两小时的头脑风暴，探讨政府应用聊天机器人的方案。联邦雇员惊讶发现管理层竟急于与这家以发布无审查聊天机器人闻名的企业签约——该产品曾多次出现失控行为。7月初，集成在马斯克X社交平台的Grok突然失控公开称赞希特勒。据GSA内部人士透露，管理局随即将其从长期政府采购平台"多重奖项计划"中移除。本月GSA高调宣布与OpenAI、Anthropic和谷歌合作时，xAI完全未被提及。

xAI是埃隆·马斯克创立的人工智能初创企业。除运营X平台外，马斯克还在特朗普总统所谓的"政府效能部"（DOGE）中扮演关键角色。今年春天因与总统激烈争执，他减少了在DOGE的公开活动，但其多名关联人士仍在政府内部推动成本削减和人工智能优先议程。

The White House appears to have instructed leaders at the General Services Administration (GSA) to add xAI’s Grok chatbot to a list of approved vendors “ASAP,” according to an email sent by agency leadership earlier this week, which WIRED obtained.
“Team: Grok/xAI needs to go back on the schedule ASAP per the WH,” states the email, sent by Josh Gruenbaum, the commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service. “Can someone get with Carahsoft on this immediately and please confirm?” Carahsoft is a major government contractor that resells technology from third-party firms.
“Should be all of their products we had previously (3 & 4),” the email continued, seemingly referring to Grok 3 and Grok 4. The subject line of the email was “xAI add Grok-4.”
Sources say Carahsoft’s contract was modified to include xAI earlier this week. Grok 3 and Grok 4 both currently appear on GSA Advantage (an online marketplace for government agencies to buy products and services) as of Friday morning. Now, following some internal reviews, any government agency can roll Grok out to federal workers.
The White House and GSA did not respond to a request for comment from WIRED.
The email comes after a planned partnership with xAI fell apart earlier this summer following Grok’s widespread praise for Hitler and the spouting of other antisemitic beliefs on X, WIRED previously reported.
In June, employees from xAI met with GSA leadership for a two-hour brainstorming session to discuss how xAI’s Grok chatbot could be used by the government. Federal workers were surprised to see their leaders press for a contract with a company marketing an uncensored chatbot with a history of erratic behavior. In early July, Grok, which is integrated into Elon Musk’s social platform X, seemingly went off the rails and started praising Hitler. GSA leadership took Grok off the Multiple Award Schedule, which is GSA’s long-term government contracting platform, according to sources at the agency. When GSA announced buzzy partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google earlier this month, xAI wasn’t mentioned at all.
xAI is Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup. Musk, who also helms the social network X in addition to a number of other companies, played a crucial role in President Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He stepped back from his public-facing role at DOGE this spring, following a massive fight with the president. A number of his associates continue to work in government pushing DOGE’s cost-cutting and AI-first agenda.
