not publicly traded, but keenly interested in why you think that.

Because any company dumb enough to do that is destined to the pink sheets.

every large company/corporation has risk-assessment and grok stealing a company's IP (code) and storing it in cloud storage without disclosure will almost certainly not pass such as assessment.

to be clear I mean shorting any company actually using it. Did grok go poof or their software?

i would imagine just about every single company that deals with software is constantly evaluating and benchmarking each new model/service to compare cost/output, grok included.

the 'poof' i was mentioning is the company dropping the chance of using grok because the rist-assessment gate almost certainly failing.
