In the same sense that DOGE's receipts are open.

They publish something that looks good, and the reality is something else.

So they don't actually publish the correct prompts, and are just lying? Do you have a source for that?
A "rogue employee" [1] at xAI recently tweaked the prompts to make Grok talk about "white genocide" in South Africa in response to completely unrelated queries:

These modifications didn't seem to get reflected in the published xAI prompts.
