X.AI Lawsuit: SuperGrok Cancellation Claims and the Minnesota Case
Active Litigation
The best-known x.ai lawsuit is a proposed class action saying SuperGrok subscriptions renew automatically and are built to be hard to cancel. It is pending in federal court in California. There is no settlement and no claim form. The x.ai Minnesota lawsuit is a different case entirely: xAI is the plaintiff, challenging a state law, and consumers get nothing from it.

What the Grok Subscription Lawsuit Says
The complaint in Rose v. X.AI LLC, filed June 11, 2026, alleges that X.AI hides the automatic renewal of its three SuperGrok subscription tiers and makes cancelling them difficult. The named plaintiff says he paid $30 for a one-month SuperGrok plan around July 12, 2025, tried to cancel on the web and in the Grok app before the month ended, and could not. He says he was then billed $30 on or about August 12, September 12 and October 12, 2025, without authorization.
The lawsuit alleges cancelling takes “at least nine steps across at least seven screens,” including pressing a cancel button at least five times. It says the process starts at an unlabeled icon, the word “cancel” does not appear for the first four steps, keep-subscription buttons are highlighted, and discount offers interrupt the flow. It pleads California consumer-protection law, the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act (which requires written consent for recurring electronic payments), conversion and unjust enrichment. X.AI has not been found liable for anything.
Case details
Grok subscriptions: Rose v. X.AI LLC, et al., Case No. 5:26-cv-05648, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. A second suit over Grok subscriptions, Horner et al. v. SpaceXAI f/k/a X.AI LLC, No. 26-cv-5787 in the Eastern District of New York, is listed by the watchdog Truth in Advertising as filed in September 2026 and pending.
Minnesota: X.AI LLC v. Ellison, No. 0:26-cv-03425, U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, before Judge Donovan W. Frank. The appeal is X.AI LLC v. Keith Ellison, No. 26-2806, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
Status: Two Different Cases, No Settlement
Minnesota case: xAI against the state. xAI sued on July 27, 2026, arguing Minnesota's ban on AI “nudification” tools violates the First Amendment. Judge Frank refused emergency relief on July 31 and denied a preliminary injunction on September 4, 2026. On October 2, 2026 the Eighth Circuit granted xAI an injunction pending appeal in a one-sentence order, putting the law on hold. That order does not decide whether the law is constitutional, and the state says it will keep defending it.

Who Is in the Proposed Grok Classes
The Rose complaint proposes three groups: a nationwide class of SuperGrok subscribers who were automatically renewed and charged, a nationwide class of those who paid by debit card or electronic bank transfer, and a California subclass. These are proposed classes — a judge has not certified them.
You do not need to sign up. If a class is certified or a settlement is reached, a court-appointed administrator notifies class members. What helps you later is records: save your Grok or X receipts, card or bank statements showing the renewals, and any screenshots or emails from a cancellation attempt.
The Minnesota case has no class at all. It is a company suing a state over a law.

How cases like this one end
Our copy of the federal courts’ own case database covers 25,309 other fraud casesclosed in U.S. federal district courts between 2015 and 2026, 27.6% of them filed as class actions:
- 17.1% ended in a settlement recorded by the court. Another 22.9% were dismissed voluntarily, which often follows a private settlement — so the real settlement share sits between 17.1% and 39.9%.
- 10.2% were decided on a motion before any trial.
- 1 in 112 reached a trial (0.9%), after a median of 29.9 months.
- Median time from filing to the end of the case: 7 months.
- Only 761 of them (3%) record a money award at all; the median of those is $663,000.

Three Things to Watch For
A famous defendant, a subscription product and no claim form is an easy setup for imposters:
“Claim your Grok refund” links
There is no settlement and no refund portal. A page asking for your card number or X login to “process your SuperGrok refund” is collecting payment data, not filing a claim.
Fake “cancel your subscription” messages
Because the lawsuit is about cancelling, expect emails or DMs offering to help you cancel through a link. Cancel only inside your own Grok or app-store account settings, never through a link someone sent you.
“Minnesota settlement” offers
The Minnesota case is xAI suing the state over a law. It has no class, no fund and pays no one. Anyone offering you a share of an “x.ai Minnesota settlement” is inventing it.
X.AI Lawsuit — Questions People Actually Ask
Short answers to the questions people ask most about this case.
What is the x.ai lawsuit about?
The case currently in the news is Rose v. X.AI LLC, a proposed class action filed June 11, 2026 alleging that SuperGrok subscriptions auto-renew without proper disclosure and are deliberately hard to cancel. Separately, xAI is the plaintiff in a lawsuit against Minnesota over its AI nudification ban.
What is the x.ai Minnesota lawsuit?
X.AI LLC v. Ellison, No. 0:26-cv-03425, filed July 27, 2026, argues that Minnesota's ban on nudification tools violates the First Amendment. The district court denied a preliminary injunction on September 4, 2026; the Eighth Circuit put the law on hold pending appeal on October 2, 2026. It is not a consumer case.
Is there a Grok subscription settlement or claim form?
No. As of October 2026 the case is pending and no class has been certified. There is no settlement, no fund, no administrator, no claim form and no deadline. If that changes, class members are notified directly.
Am I part of the Grok class action?
Possibly, if you paid for SuperGrok and were automatically renewed. The complaint proposes a nationwide class of those subscribers, a nationwide class of debit-card and bank-transfer payers, and a California subclass. You do not need to register; keep your billing records.
How much is the lawsuit asking for?
The complaint asks for at least $100 million in compensatory damages, plus restitution, punitive damages and an injunction. That is the plaintiff's demand, not an amount any court has awarded.
Is there more than one Grok subscription lawsuit?
Yes. Truth in Advertising lists a second case, Horner et al. v. SpaceXAI f/k/a X.AI LLC, No. 26-cv-5787 in the Eastern District of New York, filed in September 2026 and pending. X.AI also faces a separate class action alleging Grok shares user data with Google, Meta and TikTok.
Why is the company sometimes called SpaceXAI?
xAI is now owned by SpaceX, and court filings increasingly name the defendant as SpaceXAI, formerly X.AI LLC and X.AI Corp. It is the same business behind Grok.
What should I do right now if I can't cancel Grok?
Cancel in the place you subscribed — the Grok website, the Grok app, or the Apple or Google app store — and screenshot each step and the confirmation. If charges continue after you cancel, dispute them with your card issuer or bank. For background on how hard-to-cancel cases have resolved before, see our subscription trap settlements overview.
