Elon Musk’s xAI Faces Lawsuit From Ethereum Game Platform Xai
The post Elon Musk’s xAI Faces Lawsuit From Ethereum Game Platform Xai appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum-based gaming platform Xai has taken Elon Musk’s AI venture xAI to court. The lawsuit accuses Musk’s company of trademark infringement, brand confusion, and reputation damage. The complaint was filed by Ex Populus, the gaming studio behind Xai. Submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the lawsuit argues Musk’s firm violated Xai’s established trademark rights.

That timeline, the company claims, proves its brand existed first and deserves protection. Market Confusion Grows The lawsuit says confusion skyrocketed when Musk’s company expanded into gaming. In November 2024, xAI revealed plans to launch a gaming studio, putting both firms in the same industry. Examples of mix-ups quickly followed. Users on Binance and other crypto platforms assumed Xai and xAI were the same. Some media outlets even used Xai’s official logo in stories about Musk’s firm. The problem didn’t stop there. Grok, xAI’s chatbot, reportedly told users that Xai was part of xAI. This, Ex Populus argues, cemented the false belief that both companies were connected. Reputation Damage As Drama Unfolds Ex Populus says the unwanted link hurt its image. Grok faced criticism for generating antisemitic and violent content. Some users wrongly tied those outputs to Xai. The company argues this destroyed years of trust built with gamers and partners. It calls the harm to its brand “irreparable.” The lawsuit claims Musk’s legal team tried to pressure Xai into giving up its trademark rights. Lawyers allegedly threatened to challenge or cancel Xai’s registration. But so far, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has sided with caution. Several xAI trademark applications remain suspended due to conflicts with Xai’s earlier filing. That, Ex Populus says, proves its…
