Tesla Caps AI Spending at $200/Week, Excludes Grok

Tesla will enforce a $200-per-week cap on employee AI spending starting July 6, requiring sign-off for any overage and excluding beta xAI products. The move follows a push to standardize AI use and tighten security after months of aggressive adoption, and highlights Musk's drive to steer internal AI tooling toward Grok/Composer—though staff have largely favored Claude—while broader corporate trends show similar caps at Uber, Meta, and Walmart.
