👀💥The gaming blockchain network XAI has sued Elon Musk, accusing him of trademark infringement and unfair competition.
The essence of the conflict: Ex Populus, the creator of XAI, has been using the XAI brand and token since June 2023. After the launch of the company xAI in July 2023 and the announcement of Musk's gaming studio in November 2024, confusion began: media, users, and even the AI assistant Grok started to mix up the projects. XAI claims that the association with Musk has caused reputational damage and negativity due to the scandals related to his company.
Pressure from Musk:
Musk's lawyers attempted to force XAI to give up its brand rights, threatening to cancel the trademark registration. Meanwhile, the US Patent Office has already suspended several xAI applications due to possible confusion.
XAI's demands: Cancel Musk's trademark applications for xAI. Compensate for the damage caused. and in the blockchain, prohibit the use of the name xAI in the gaming and blockchain sectors.
