Description

Today we provide an overview of the escalating legal conflicts between Elon Musk's entities (xAI and X Corp.) and OpenAI, a company Musk co-founded. The core dispute involves two major lawsuits: one filed by xAI alleging that OpenAI engaged in systematic trade secret theft by unlawfully poaching employees with knowledge of xAI’s Grok chatbot and business plans, and a second antitrust claim by X Corp. against OpenAI and Apple. Furthermore, we cover an earlier lawsuit filed by Musk against OpenAI regarding its pivot from a non-profit mission to a capped for-profit structure, a matter that is slated for a jury trial beginning in March 2026.
