Elon Musk’s long-standing battle with OpenAI has a new participant: Apple.
On Tuesday, Apple found itself the latest target of Elon Musk’s legal threats when the xAI CEO accused the tech giant of using unfair means to promote OpenAI’s ChatGPT over his company’s rival Grok chatbot in the App Store. Musk called it an “unequivocal antitrust violation” and threatened to take legal action. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who is part of an ongoing feud with the billionaire, quickly weighed in on the dispute, calling Musk’s accusation a “remarkable claim.” He, in turn, accused Musk of manipulating his own platform, X, “to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn’t like.”
Apple has denied Musk’s claims, saying in a statement that the App Store “is designed to be fair and free of bias.”
