Cursor, which is now owned by Elon, who tried very hard to get all manner of data about citizens with his intrusions? I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this isn't a great idea. He'll use it to feed Grok.

I'm not a big fan of Github right now either but I wouldn't consider this alternative due to its ownership chain.

Considering that Grok CLI was caught uploading peoples entire codebases... Yeah, I have little faith and trust. I wanted to try Cursor and Grok but I won't because of this.

I wouldn't even feel comfortable cloning from it, let alone contributing. If you decide to host your project there, please mirror it somewhere sane as well.

And Microsoft doesn't use Github to feed their own monsters? And why wouldn't Elon just use GitHub to feed Grok?

Is Elon maybe just living rent free in your head?

Yup, same sentiment here. Thank you

They were also caught having their Grok code agent upload entire source code repositories in the background.

I guess the joke is "come to Origin, your code is already there".

I love how people like you actually think Elon actually wanted your data.
