Jason Kwon, the Chief Strategy Officer of OpenAI, took to X to express his thoughts on the recent dismissal of a lawsuit filed by xAI against OpenAI. The lawsuit, which alleged that OpenAI orchestrated a scheme to poach eight xAI employees in 2025 to steal its trade secrets and source code, was dismissed by a U.S. district judge. In a post on Tuesday, Kwon suggested that the lawsuit was a reaction to Musk’s “0% chance of success” comment when he left OpenAI.

Meanwhile, xAI has announced a company reorganization to improve execution speed, which Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) chief said “unfortunately required parting ways with some people,” following a wave of co-founder departures.
