The legal battle begins: Elon Musk’s xAI sues Apple and OpenAI for manipulating App Store rankings
xAI CEO, Elon Musk, has accused Apple and OpenAI of antitrust violations and has sued the tech giants for partnering and manipulating the App Store ranking. Earlier this month, Musk highlighted that the App Store rankings showcased OpenAI’s ChatGPT among the top apps, but there is no mention of X or Grok despite the advancement and popularity. He also accused Apple of favouring OpenAI and threatened the company with legal action against an unequivocal antitrust violation. Now, xAI has filed an official lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI for the same reasons that it’s making it challenging for other AI companies to remain the top choice of users.
