A bit hard for him to swing if he wants to position xAI as a key Defense contractor for AI and his company is full of Chinese Nationals...

Is there a leading American AI research organization - big tech or academia - that isn't "full of Chinese Nationals"? If the DoD want an all-American SoTA model, they may have to wait for a while.

Maybe true but you probably expect a minimum of leaked information directly to the CCP if you accept that.

AI Research orgs voluntarily do their own "leaking" via the publication of research papers, and involuntarily via employee/post-doc churn.

The guilty-until-proven innocent mindset is what kickstarted China's nuclear program - and led to the internment of people with Japanese heritage.
