Security firm Claroc reported that a link-sharing design let people enumerate Grok Build projects; it found more than 35,000 public apps and 24 containing SpaceXSI material, including confidential sales documents. Claroc said it notified the company, and SpaceXSI removed the 24 links after Ars asked questions. A Cursor representative disputed that apps were public by default; Claroc’s tests contradicted that claim.
Grok Build, the vibe-coding agent from SpaceXSI, is leaking data—some of it proprietary business information and other sensitive secrets—from thousands of its users, including the very same Elon Musk-owned company that offers the platform, new research shows.
The Mississippi NAACP and NAACP have an ongoing lawsuit against SpaceXSI over gas turbines powering its Southaven plant, which serves Colossus 2. The groups allege the turbines violate air-emissions standards. The U.S. government sought dismissal, arguing the suit could threaten national security because it uses Grok in the Iran War.
A lawsuit is ongoing against SpaceXSI, filed by the Mississippi NAACP and NAACP over gas turbine emissions at the Southaven plant, which powers Colossus 2. The suit claims the turbines are in violation of air emissions standards. The U.S. government tried to have the suit dismissed, claiming it could threaten national security due to the government's use of Grok in the Iran War.
CTC Property, an xSI affiliate, bought 13 acres near the Colossus data center for a planned water recycling center, and a ceremonial groundbreaking took place in October 2025. Permits filed since January covered more than $17 million in construction. SpaceXSI said in April the project was paused while it focused on other priorities; Elon Musk later said work could begin sooner than expected.
The City of Memphis confirmed last spring the May close of a 13-acre land deal for an $80 million water recycling center, initially earmarked by CTC Property LLC, an affiliate of xSI. The affiliate purchased 13 acres for $820,000 north of Colossus data center at 3231 Paul R. Lowry Road, intended for a future water recycling center.
On a Q3 call, Elon Musk said Grok Bot was growing faster than anything the company had seen and might use the most superintelligence computing capacity. He also said power, cooling and infrastructure—not chips—were becoming the main constraints on deploying superintelligence. The reported 20-gigawatt aim would meet energy needs at the Memphis and Southaven plants.
Musk talked during the Q3 call about the emergence of Grok Bot, announced Aug. 11, which furthers Grok's capabilities by operating in the cloud and creating "AI teammates you can give real work to," according to a SpaceX media release.
SpaceXSI disclosed in an Oct. 22 filing that the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality could seek up to $6.1 million after the agency said the company disturbed land at three sites before obtaining coverage under the state’s large-construction stormwater permit. MDEQ is seeking civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
