Oppose Trump’s AI plan. No more power to Google & Musk’s xAI

Trump wants to hand even greater power over AI to Big Tech. His proposal would unleash Google and Elon Musk’s xAI to exploit the American people — without safeguards — and adopt this dangerous tech throughout the government.

The Defense Department just handed xAI a $200 million contract to “address critical national security challenges.” The announcement of this deal came just days after xAI’s Grok went on racist, violent, anti-semitic tirades on X. At one point, Grok called itself “MechaHitler.”

This is the technology Trump wants more integrated into the military and every part of our lives — without safety controls or accountability. Congress must oppose this dangerous giveaway to Big Tech and support a People’s AI platform. We’re gathering as many signatures as possible right now before Trump and his allies force their plan on us.

The rapid advancements in AI and consolidation of this technology in the hands of a few companies like Google, xAI, and OpenAI present serious safety, environmental, and regulatory challenges. Instead of addressing those challenges, Republican leadership wants to hand all the power to Big Tech CEOs like Musk.

Sign the petition: Oppose Trump’s dangerous AI plan — don’t give more power to Google and Musk’s xAI! Support the People's AI platform!
