"OpenAI is waging a coordinated, unfair, and unlawful campaign: OpenAI is targeting those individuals with knowledge of xAI's key technologies and business plans."
"This new lawsuit is the latest chapter in Mr. Musk's ongoing harassment," OpenAI said in a statement to Business Insider.
A source with knowledge of the issue also told Business Insider that Li, the engineer in question, never worked at OpenAI.
Attorneys for xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
