Democrats Gear Up Scrutiny of Apple, Meta, and Musk's AI Firms
Democratic lawmakers are prepping investigations into major tech players, including Apple and Meta, for their past ties to the Trump administration. They are also looking into how Musk's Grok AI was involved in events linked to the Trump era.

Democratic lawmakers are mobilizing probes targeting major US technology companies for their associations with the Trump administration over the last two years. The Washington Post reported this Friday, based on information gathered by congressional staff and lobbyists.
One area of interest is the potential involvement of Musk's companies, specifically regarding the AI chatbot Grok. Legislators are expected to examine the reported use of Grok in planning a military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The probes are not only looking at AI usage but also at corporate dealings with US agencies. Apple is facing potential scrutiny over how it managed applications that track the activities of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The reporting, cited by the Washington Post, drew its conclusions from conversations with five anonymous sources, including lawyers, venture capitalists, and congressional staffers who were involved in the planning stages of the investigations.
