OpenAI Accuses xAI of Evidence Destruction in Antitrust Battle
OpenAI has escalated its legal confrontation with Elon Musk's xAI, alleging systematic evidence destruction in an antitrust lawsuit. Court filings reveal claims that xAI instructed employees to use auto-deleting messaging tools despite pending litigation—a MOVE OpenAI argues compromised critical communications about AI market competition.
The dispute centers on xAI's August lawsuit against OpenAI and Apple, which contends their ChatGPT integration creates unfair advantages. Notably absent from preserved records are discussions about xAI's own Grok chatbot, potentially hindering judicial review of anti-competitive claims in the rapidly evolving AI sector.
