Is AI in general a matter of national security? Probably. Is Grok's system prompt a matter of national security? Probably not.
That is very different than the foundational technology falling into the hands of foreign actors.

No more than I want an inquiry into SpaceX or Tesla, since X and XAi are not the same company.
Context matters.
Given that Xitter is still a fairly widely-used social network platform, and Grok is supposed to be a major part of its defense against misinformation, including misinformation about things like domestic elections and corruption, I would say that it very reasonably qualifies as such. (Granted, to a large extent that horse has left the barn—but that doesn't mean we should just burn down the barn.)
And to me that's a completely different concern than trying to limit another country's access to hardware for training large models, for example.
