STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS ADThe lawsuit, originally filed in September 2025, accused OpenAI of misappropriating confidential information and trade secrets through former xAI employees who later moved to the company.
OpenAI has consistently maintained that Li never joined the company and that it never acquired any xAI trade secrets.

The news agency stated the dismissal with prejudice means xAI cannot raise the same claims again.
A US federal judge reportedly dismissed xAI’s trade secret lawsuit against rival OpenAI with prejudice, dealing another legal blow to Elon Musk in his widening battle with Sam Altman’s company.
In the order, the judge wrote xAI essentially equated asking a job candidate about prior work experience with encouraging a potential employee to divulge trade secrets obtained during that work.
