A federal judge in California dismissed a lawsuit from Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI that accused rival Sam Altman’s OpenAI of stealing its trade secrets. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco said that xAI could refile its case, but for now has failed to allege that OpenAI committed any misconduct. The lawsuit, filed in September, claimed that former xAI employees took confidential information with them when they left for new jobs at OpenAI.

OpenAI Inc. convinced a federal judge to throw out X.AI Corp.'s lawsuit accusing the AI giant of misappropriating its trade secrets by poaching multiple employees and encouraging them to steal confidential information. Judge Rita F. Lin dismissed the lawsuit with a chance for X.AI to amend, stating that xAI does not point to any misconduct by OpenAI.

U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco said that xAI could refile its case, but for now has failed to allege that OpenAI committed any misconduct.

OpenAI was granted the dismissal of a US lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's xAI alleging it poached employees to steal trade secrets. Judge Rita F. Lin said that xAI does not allege any facts indicating that OpenAI induced xAI’s former employees to steal xAI’s trade secrets or that these former xAI employees used any stolen trade secrets once employed by OpenAI.
