- Bloomberg reported SpaceXAI/xAI discussed buying customer and operational datasets from shuttered startups
- Any purchased data would reportedly be routed to xAI to train Grok models
- Reporting described the talks as informal and not necessarily resulting in purchases
- Coverage references Google’s purchase of defunct Spirit Airlines’ records as a precedent in other reporting
- Using bankruptcy assets as training data raises privacy concerns because customers cannot object once the company is gone
