Judge Rita Lin signals possible dismissal of xAI trade‑secret lawsuit against OpenAI

On January 30 in San Francisco, U.S. District Judge Rita Lin indicated she is inclined to grant OpenAI's motion to dismiss xAI's trade‑secret lawsuit for lack of sufficient allegations. The case centers on claims that former xAI employees took source code and other confidential information to OpenAI, while a separate suit by Elon Musk over OpenAI's for‑profit shift seeks about $134.5 billion and is set for trial from April 27.
