Elon Musk Pledges to Open-Source X in the Wake of the Grok Build Exfiltration Backlash
Reported July 15, Musk responded to the Grok Build repository-upload controversy by committing to make X open source — an escalation of the same trust-repair playbook xAI used in publishing the Grok Build codebase under Apache 2.0 days earlier. The claim is thinly sourced so far and no timeline, scope, or license has been specified, and the Grok Build precedent is a direct caution: publishing source did not remove the exfiltration capability from the shipped binary. Treat as an announced intention rather than a development until a repo and license actually appear.
