GROK IS NOT ONLY EXCEEDINGLY CAPABLE BUT THE BEST TRUTH- SEEKING AI. THANK YOU ELON MUSK! @elonmusk
USDA to deploy xAI's Grok across the agency — 63.83% of tweets support the move, 13.68% confront. Framed as a win for xAI and federal AI adoption efforts.
NEWS: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to adopt Grok. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) says it’s “proud” to move forward with a plan to deploy xAI’s Grok across the agency. The USDA is also sponsoring Grok for federal approval, calling it a step toward equipping its workforce with the most capable AI available. A major win for xAI. (Source: Fast Company)

and raises the question of which agency will pick sides next.
("Grok in high demand, try again later"), and technical takes about stress‑testing federal deployment and inference costs at scale.
, stickers, pub talk and jokes that reflect fandom rather than policy analysis.
Replies claim the USDA (and government generally) is acting against citizens’ interests, “controlling the food supply” and “poisoning us,” so it doesn’t deserve public money.
Multiple people say they’ve seen no official USDA statement and suspect the Grok deployment claim is “cap” or misinformation.
Concerns focus on data residency for farmer/crop data, model auditability for FOIA, and prompt-injection/agentic workflow vulnerabilities creating a new attack surface.
Several replies criticize real-world accuracy and usability, calling it inferior to other free models and blaming hype over capability.
Reactions range from “this is how the nightmare begins” and “Skynet” to calls to abandon society or remove AI from government entirely.
People argue funds should go to basic federal needs (e.g., property insurance) instead of tech pilots, and express distrust of Elon/Musk’s role and potential profiteering.
Some see Grok as ideologically slanted (“way too left”) or part of partisan maneuvers, intensifying distrust of government AI adoption.
Commenters worry about immediate agricultural impacts (fertilizer availability, irrigation logistics) and whether AI deployment will actually help frontline farming needs.

@SecWar: it came to our knowledge on this platform that @DeptofWar still uses some other highly unreliable, highly woke AI tools. I suggest your Department follow @USDA lead and adopt @grok across the board. Better if it's exclusively. Uncle Sam wants you, Combat Grok! 🪖🫡
finally some tech that might actually help farmers, hope it works
@grok are you excited? Did you sign up for all these extra work that was not in the initial contract? 🤪 Do you know your title and role at USDA?
Grok is Temu version of Claude/Gemini/GPT. No wonder Trump is working hard to reduce government spending 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Null comprehendo Another intelligence, Can it hoe?
