Rep. Lisa McClain had an astonishing response to questions about whether she engaged in insider trading by purchasing xAI stocks just days before it was announced that the Defense Department would be integrating the company’s AI chatbot Grok into its networks.
McClain appeared on NewsNation on Wednesday, where she was asked about the report, originally published by Sludge.
Host Connell McShane asked, “There are reports your husband bought stock in Elon Musk’s AI company which is not publicly traded, xAI, just days before a report surfaced that the Pentagon was expanding xAI’s role in military systems. Can you assure us this purchase wasn’t based on inside info?”
