"OpenAI is targeting those individuals with knowledge of xAI's key technologies and business plans-including xAI's source code and its operational advantages in launching data centers-then inducing those employees to breach their confidentiality and other obligations to xAI through unlawful means. By hook or by crook, OpenAI clearly will do anything when threatened by a better innovator, including plundering and misappropriating the technical advancements, source code, and business plans of xAI, the lawsuit read."
"We sent them many warning letters, but they continued to cheat. Lawsuit was the only option after exhausting all others.- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 25, 2025"
xAI filed a lawsuit accusing OpenAI of poaching engineers, pressuring them to share confidential information, and accessing xAI's source code, business plans, and data center details. The complaint alleges targeted inducement of employees to breach confidentiality and other obligations through unlawful means. xAI previously lodged a legal complaint against former employee Xuechen Li and identified additional persons of interest, including an early engineer and a senior finance executive. Elon Musk stated that xAI sent multiple warning letters and pursued litigation only after exhausting all other options. OpenAI disputed the new lawsuit.
