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.

Showing more content from people you follow has been one of the fixes.
The algorithm not barraging you with similar content due to a few likes is another.

Four airlines announced @Starlink today.
Looks like airlines are realizing that without Starlink, passengers will be stuck with terrible WiFi, and they could lose customers to competitors offering Starlink.
