A federal judge has dismissed xAI's lawsuit against OpenAI, ruling that xAI failed to provide sufficient evidence of OpenAI's involvement in the alleged theft of trade secrets. This decision, made with prejudice, prevents xAI from refiling the case. The lawsuit, initiated in September 2025, stemmed from accusations that OpenAI persuaded a former xAI employee to steal trade secrets. This marks another legal setback for Elon Musk's xAI against OpenAI, following a previous case where a jury found the statute of limitations had passed on Musk's claims of OpenAI breaching its non-profit charter.
