xAI Corp., the artificial intelligence company founded by
billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has filed a lawsuit against a
former employee, accusing him of stealing confidential information
and trade secrets related to its AI chatbot, Grok, shortly after
his resignation and subsequent move to OpenAI,
Azernews reports.
The legal complaint, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of California, targets Xuenchen Li for
breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, and
violation of California’s Computer Data Access and Fraud Act.
The lawsuit claims that Li uploaded xAI’s confidential
information to his personal system just days before resigning,
falsely stated that he had deleted all copies upon leaving, and
later refused to return or delete the sensitive data, as required
by his contract.
