Compare the articel to the one posted 10m minutes earlier on CNBC with the title "Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and xAI granted up to $200 million for AI work from Defense Department".

From that article:
> KEY POINTS
> The U.S. Department of Defense on Monday said it's granting contract awards of up to $200 million to several AI companies.
> The DoD's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office said the awards will help the agency accelerate its adoption of AI solutions.
> The recipients of the contract awards include Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and xAI.
There's not much comparison to make. The Verge isn't an impartial publication, and the recent controversy (even just the financial stuff) has called XAI's credibility into question.
