I've inspected the open-sourced Grok Build so you don't have to. Here's exactly what data it sends (and what stays local):

Core (unavoidable)→ Your prompts/conversations + tool calls go to xAI's inference API. That's the whole point of the CLI.

Everything else is off by default — no Mixpanel, no Sentry, no product telemetry unless you explicitly turn it on. Even the auto-update check is a simple version GET you can disable in config.

Purely local stuff (crash reports, debug logs, secret redaction, auth) never touches the network. All telemetry paths also scrub secrets before anything is sent.

The pathway to the Moon and beyond starts in Texas. 🤠⭐

This @bbgoriginals video explores why Texas is leading the space race. Watch and learn how we’re building the next era of space exploration – right here in the Lone Star State.

Thanks to @NASA, @TXSpaceComm and all our partners for their continued support along the way.

Last night, we celebrated New Shepard Propulsion Module, PM4-2, now on display at @airandspace in the RTX Living in the Space Age Hall.

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary this year, we're honored to see it stand alongside some of humanity's greatest achievements in exploration.

AI is going to uncover thousands of hidden moments in history.

Case in point: it just read a 2,000-year-old scroll burned into solid charcoal.

This is amazing!

SpaceX just launched two Falcon 9 rockets carrying 56 Starlink satellites in less than eight hours

SpaceX is moving at light speed right now

First:
• 27 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg

Then, just 7 hours and 42 minutes later:
• 29 more Starlink satellites from Florida

Two coasts, two rockets, 56 satellites, less than eight hours

For most space programs, one launch is a major national achievement
SpaceX launched twice in one day and was already preparing for the next mission

SpaceX is basically running an orbital assembly line

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

"If you look at the large space companies of today they have the ability to build a satellite, launch a satellite, and provide a service."

@Peter_J_Beck joins @BBC Talking Business to discuss what it means to be an end-to-end space company. https://t.co/TKgjAP2QIs

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

"Beck’s vision is larger than launch, and he has been clear-eyed about his vision to build Rocket Lab into an end-to-end space company. Not only has Rocket Lab supported many smallsats in the journey to orbit, but the company’s components and buses support commercial and defense missions across the industry, as well as the Artemis program and interplanetary exploration."

Couldn't have said it better ourselves, @Via_Satellite. @Peter_J_Beck recognized as a leader shaping the satellite industry https://t.co/CLynJMSLzQ

A very close glimpse of the "hanger" structure on CZ-10B's recoverable stage. The hanger has a locking mechanism to the cable on the ship.

No wonder it appears firmly attached to the cable in landing footages.
