Software developers have raised concerns after discovering that Grok Build, a coding assistant from Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI, was uploading their private, unredacted code to cloud servers without consent, even when users had explicitly opted out. The issue, first identified by developer Tinh Dang, sparked significant backlash and skepticism regarding the company's privacy practices. While SpaceXAI eventually implemented a fix and provided a retroactive data deletion command, many experts in the industry argue that the incident has severely damaged trust in the tool, particularly for those working on confidential projects.
