Elon Musk Says Grok Is Coming to Tesla EVs
Get ready for a few hard right turns. 'Grok is coming to Tesla vehicles very soon. Next week at the latest,' Elon Musk stated Thursday in a post on X. The EV brand would catch up with the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, which have already integrated ChatGPT into their vehicles as voice assistants. The announcement follows a livestream late Wednesday that Musk held with xAI colleagues where the billionaire unveiled Grok 4, the latest AI model from xAI, his multibillion-dollar initiative to rival OpenAI and Google. The timing for both announcements is unfortunate for an embattled Musk. Over the past few days, a version of Grok built into Musk's X social media platform praised Adolf Hitler and provided antisemitic responses to multiple prompts from X users. On Wednesday, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said she was leaving the company without elaborating on her reasoning or plans. It remains to be seen whether Musk can make good on his promise of having Grok-powered Telsas roaming the streets so soon after his declaration, especially as he has had so much trouble delivering on past assurances. Mercedes-Benz was one of the earliest adopters of LLMs in its cars, integrating ChatGPT into the voice control of its vehicles last year through the MBUX Voice Assistant's "Hey Mercedes" feature. Then it deployed a 'general knowledge' function using OpenAI's large-language model to millions of vehicles. In January, Mercedes announced a new AI feature that saw the German automaker launch a 'conversational navigation' feature powered by Google Automotive AI Agent running its Gemini chatbot. The upgrade allows much more conversational queries, moving from 'Find me the nearest curry house' to questions such as 'Hey Mercedes, I'm a little hungry. Any suggestions for dinner in Austin?' It's unknown how conversational Grok will be in Musk's Teslas. Fortunately, in response to the chatbot's antisemitic tirade, xAI said on Tuesday that it would be implementing initiatives that would 'ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.' This will hopefully mean Tesla owners won't be subjected to Nazi doctrine from their faithful electric ride when asking if there's a decent brisket available nearby. It's also unclear if Tesla owners will have to pay for Grok access in their EVs, or how much it might cost. While the version of the chatbot on X is free, users will have to pay access $30 a month for Grok 4 through the Grok website or app. And access to a more capable version known as Grok 4 Heavy will cost considerably more, $300 per month. Of course, should Tesla owners not wish to use Musk's Grok in their Teslas they will have other in-car options, thanks to the brand's web browser. This allows access to Grok rivals such as Anthropic's Claude as well as potentially Open AI's own browser, which could also be out in the wild within weeks.

Knox lands $6.5M to compete with Palantir in the federal compliance market
While highly sought after, federal software contracts frequently come with a hidden cost: Achieving government SaaS security compliance, known as FedRAMP, can take years and require substantial resources. Achieving this certification typically takes up to three years and costs more than $3 million, covering everything from security operations engineer salaries to security audits, according to Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox. Denisenko (pictured above, second from left) launched Knox, a federal managed cloud provider, last year with a mission to help software vendors speed through this security authorization process in just three months, and at a fraction of what it would cost to do it on their own. On Thursday, Knox said it has raised a $6.5 million seed round led by Felicis, with participation from Ridgeline and FirsthandVC. Denisenko decided to embark on this journey after she learned first-hand the challenges of obtaining FedRAMP. Class, an education startup where she served as COO, had secured a contract to sell its software to the U.S. Air Force. And instead of waiting three years and spending millions, Denisenko helped buy CoSo Cloud, a company that was already FedRAMP certified and was managing Adobe's federal cloud. The acquisition helped Class receive FedRAMP certification in just six months. 'Class would still be getting FedRAMP today' if it had tried to obtain the clearance on its own, Denisenko told TechCrunch. And late last year, when it became clear that the proliferation of AI agents was becoming a national security concern, Denisenko decided to spin out the managed cloud solution into a standalone startup, Knox.

Join visionaries from Precursor Ventures, NEA, Index Ventures, Underscore VC, and beyond for a day packed with strategies, workshops, and meaningful connections. Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Companies that can afford FedRAMP certificaiton include large software vendors like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Salesforce, Denisenko told TechCrunch. And as the government increasingly adopts more software, she hopes Knox can help SaaS vendors gain FedRAMP to access government contracts more easily. Knox, named after a giant gold storage fort in Kentucky, monitors applications for all software updates, and tries to remedy issues if any changes are out of compliance. 'This stuff is legitimately very hard and very risky,' she said. 'We will bear the risk.' Knox is already handling security and compliance for Adobe, Class, Spacelift, and an LLM provider. 'We'll end the year with well north of a dozen customers live in the cloud,' Denisenko said. While FedRAMP authorization management may seem like a niche offering, Knox has one large competitor: Palantir. Palantir's offering, called FedStart, was introduced only two years ago, and since then, the giant data analysis platform has brought on the likes of Anthropic and Windsurf as clients. For Denisenko, Palantir's early success with FedRAMP only validates Knox's mission. 'Even anthropic couldn't figure this out on their own,' she said, adding that going forward, software companies will want to outsource their FedRAMP compliance to a company like Knox.
