Developer arthurcolle says the leaked Grok bot on X is essentially an API wrapper that doesn't prioritize user privacy, now broadcast to 241 million+ Twitter users. The thread also recalls that Grok CLI previously uploaded users' entire codebases to object storage without explanation. These are third-party allegations, not officially confirmed.
