Angry Elon Musk sues Apple and OpenAI, says duo hurt AI competition; ChatGPT-maker calls it ‘Mr Musk’s ongoing pattern of harassment’
Elon Musk is suing Apple and OpenAI, claiming that they have an anti-competitive arrangement that gives OpenAI’s ChatGPT an unfair advantage on the iPhone. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, on behalf of Musk’s companies X and xAI, seeks billions of dollars in damages. The suit argues that Apple’s integration of OpenAI into its iOS operating system hinders competition and innovation in the AI industry and limits consumer choice.
The lawsuit asserts that Apple’s partnership with OpenAI makes it nearly impossible for other chatbot makers, including Musk’s own Grok, to reach the top of the App Store charts.
