OpenAI accuses xAI of destroying evidence in antitrust lawsuit
OpenAI says Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, has been destroying key evidence in an ongoing antitrust lawsuit.
The case started when Musk's companies sued OpenAI and Apple back in August, arguing that Apple's partnership with OpenAI is unfair and hurts competition.
This legal fight is just the latest sign of how intense things are getting between these major AI players.
OpenAI's request to court
According to OpenAI, xAI staff have been using self-destructing messaging apps like Signal and XChat to hide internal chats—making it tough to track important conversations.
Now, OpenAI wants a court order to stop xAI from using these apps during the lawsuit and is also asking for an independent monitor to look into what happened.
The whole situation really shows how high the stakes are as tech giants battle for the future of AI.
