Elon Musk recently shared videos posted by Tesla drivers worldwide, documenting their interactions with the AI virtual assistant Grok. One clip stands out due to its location: a secure government facility. A US intelligence agency is now investigating the incident.
The video shows the driver interacting with Grok’s “unhinged mode” feature while driving to work in his Tesla. The footage gained attention for its vulgar and colorful quotes from the AI, but it also raises questions about the individual’s access to the site.
The man filmed at a sensitive federal complex located in Linthicum, Maryland, an NSA annex used for cyber espionage and analyzing signals intercepts. He appears to have bypassed security protocols by driving onto the secure site without authorization.
Jason Kikta, a former US Cyber Command official, warned that recording video within sensitive facilities is banned due to potential security risks. The incident has been reviewed by US Cyber Command, one of the intelligence agencies with employees at the complex.
