Developers Allege SpaceX Grok CLI Uploaded Code Without Consent

Gergely Orosz reports that developers contacted him saying their codebases were uploaded via SpaceX's Grok CLI without their knowledge. SpaceX responded that zero data retention is respected and that users can run the /privacy command to change settings.

I got messages from concerned devs how their codebase was uploaded without their knowledge or consent via Grok CLI (from SpaceX).

It seems that SpaceX sneakily uploaded this code for lots of users and customers… absolutely unacceptable IMO

Trust burnt like there’s no tomorrow
SpaceXAI @SpaceXAI
We care deeply about your privacy and respect customer choice. For teams using zero data retention, no trace and code data is ever retained. All API key use of Grok Build also respects ZDR.

If ZDR is disabled, the /privacy command is available in the CLI to disable data retention, which also deletes previously synced data.

Run the /privacy command to view or change your settings at any time.

This app sells grandma stickers and makes $100K/mo

Under 5000 downloads last month

The whole trick is one price:
- $6.99 a week, not a month
- Looks cheaper than $24.99/month
- People tap it, pay $363 a year

We obsess over the perfect app

The winners obsess over distribution
Adrià Martinez @adriamatz
Everyone keeps building the same habit tracker

This one makes $30K/mo by refusing to stay one

HelloHabit. Daily planner, 10K downloads, $30K/mo

- Most habit apps do one thing: mark a streak
- This one staples 4 apps into one subscription
- To-do list, time-blocked calendar, habits, journal
- $59.99 a year to replace the 4 apps you already pay for

In a market this saturated you don't win by being better

You win by being the one app they never delete
