Federal Judge Dismisses xAI Trade-Secret Lawsuit

A California federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a trade-secrets lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's xAI against OpenAI, finding xAI failed to allege specific misconduct by OpenAI. Judge Rita Lin gave xAI until March 17 to file an amended complaint correcting deficiencies after xAI accused OpenAI of recruiting at least eight former employees to obtain confidential information about Grok. The ruling continues the Musk-Altman legal feud.
