The Spin

Democratic narrative

This is a catastrophic security failure. Grok AI has been documented as sexually harassing women, generating child sexual abuse material by removing clothing from photos of minors and operating without any consent protocols. Military intelligence decisions will now rely on an AI that scrapes misinformation and fake news from X, creating an idiocracy where national defense depends on trash data.

Republican narrative

Integrating Grok into every unclassified military network marks the overdue purging of bureaucratic parasites who weaponized safety and ethics rhetoric to sabotage American military dominance. The managerial class suffocated innovation while adversaries advanced unchecked. Deploying world-leading AI models throughout the Pentagon restores the singular focus on lethality and victory that wins wars.
