House ranking members Raskin and Garcia sent a letter demanding the preservation of President Trump's chatbot logs following reports that he sought advice from Elon Musk's Grok regarding potential military actions against Venezuela. The lawmakers asserted that any such records are federal property and must be preserved for future investigations.
“We are writing to ask whether you have actually been soliciting advice from Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, in order to help you carry out your official duties as president.”
“To the extent any of your administration's myriad blunders, such as launching a war on Iran, are attributable to over-reliance on AI, the American public deserves to know what advice was rendered, and records of that advice must be preserved.”
