Tesla tells employees to stop expensing so much AI, unless it is Grok

This is a neat little case study in what happens when a CEO runs multiple companies with competing AI stacks. Tesla spent months gamifying AI usage with leaderboards, then reversed course as the token bill came due, and the one carve out in an otherwise strict policy just happens to favor the boss's own startup. Watch whether other Musk companies quietly adopt the same asymmetric rule, because it says more about internal politics than about genuine cost discipline.
