White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that President Donald Trump would push for his government to cancel all contracts with Elon Musk's xAI company.
During a Wednesday White House briefing, Leavitt was asked if Trump supported "federal agencies contracting with Elon Musk's AI company."
"I don't think so, no," the press secretary replied.
"Okay, so he would want the DOJ to then cancel the contract with Elon?" the reporter pressed.
"I'll talk to him about it, yes," Leavitt said.
Earlier this month, xAI won a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense just days after Musk's Grok chatbot praised Adolf Hitler.
