“Grok’s continued operation and availability is a matter of paramount national security,” the filing said, especially “in the event of armed conflict”—adding that the Department of War used Grok to “deploy over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury.”

"Listen, the War-Crime-O-Matic is absolutely NECESSARY to national security, damnit! Who cares if they're checks notes destroying the environment on a local and global scale with unpermitted gas turbines in clear violation of the Clean Air Act?? It's not as if people need air like we NEED the baby-killing-o-tron-3000!"

In for a penny, in for a Pound of Flesh!
