California lawsuit alleges Devin Kim was fired after raising concerns about Grok’s biased, misleading and potentially dangerous responses as SpaceX prepared for a planned IPO.
Devin Kim, a former engineer, has sued Elon Musk’s xAI and SpaceX in California’s Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleging he was fired after repeatedly warning about biased, misleading and potentially dangerous outputs from Grok. The complaint frames the dismissal as retaliation tied to internal AI safety concerns and says the dispute unfolded as SpaceX was preparing for a planned IPO, a context that could heighten scrutiny of governance, risk management and disclosure practices.
