Elon Musk goes to Google, OpenAI and xAI to ask:’Who is more trustworthy — Sam Altman or Elon Musk’; shares screenshots as evidence
Elon Musk and Sam Altman are fighting again and publicly. In a heated escalation of their ongoing rivalry, Elon Musk and Sam Altman traded barbs over allegations of bias in Apple’s App Store rankings. The fight started after Musk, founder of xAI, posted on Twitter, accusing Apple of manipulating its App Store rankings to favor OpenAI’s ChatGPT, making it “impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1.” Musk labeled this an “unequivocal antitrust violation” and threatened immediate legal action against Apple. At the time, ChatGPT held the top spot on the U.S. App Store’s free apps list, while xAI’s Grok ranked fifth.
Elon Musk’s accusations stemmed from Apple’s June 2024 partnership with OpenAI, which integrated ChatGPT into Apple’s ecosystem, including Siri and Writing Tools.
