Pentagon used Elon Musk's Grok AI to help coordinate 2,000 missile strikes on Iran, US government says

—The US government acknowledged in a legal briefing that the Pentagon used Elon Musk's Grok AI tool to help coordinate approximately 2,000 missile strikes against Iran during the conflict, raising immediate questions about the role of commercial AI in military targeting decisions. Times of Israel first reported the legal briefing disclosure. The revelation drew significant attention given Musk's concurrent role as a government official and the fact that his AI company directly benefited from defense use. The disclosure came as SpaceX was completing its record IPO.
