• The thread: Grok getting state distribution — Elon (RT Eric Jiang, ~11:09 AM ET): "Proud that https://america.gov is powered by Grok. No more sifting through the maze of government websites... free, no account required, no ads." Companion: Musk crediting Joe Gebbia's unpaid team for the government-services work; Sorkin praising america.gov on CNBC the day prior. X-grade only so far — no wire story yet on the rollout, model/version, terms, or accessibility vetting. The irony to hold: Grok is FedRAMP-gated out of the government coding stack (gov-model-gating) while the White House's own consumer surface runs it.
