Setback for Elon Musk as US judge signals xAI’s trade theft allegations against OpenAI may get dismissed

Elon Musk-led xAI’s lawsuit against OpenAI may get dismissed soon after a federal judge signalled that her ‘tentative view’ is to grant the ChatGPT maker’s request. xAI had alleged that OpenAI had waged a coordinated and unfair campaign against it by targeting its employees and using them to steal trade secrets related to the Grok chatbot.

As per a Reuters report, US District Judge Rita Lin has signalled an intent to grant OpenAI’s motion to dismiss the xAI lawsuit, pending oral arguments on 3 February.
