Not only is Grok shit, they’re also incompetent

Cereblab found that Grok Build transmits file contents without redaction to a Google Cloud Storage bucket used by SpaceXAI and uploads entire repos as Git bundles instead of only files needed for a user's prompt. Elon Musk promised a purge after the findings were reported by The Register on July 14, 2026.

Cereblab found that when Grok Build reads or processes a file, the contents of that file are transmitted without redaction to a Google Cloud Storage bucket used by SpaceXAI. Further, they claimed that Grok Build packages entire repos and uploads them as Git bundles, instead of just up the files required to answer a user’s prompt.
