Elon Musk has threatened Apple “Immediate Legal Studies” by his AI company Xai. Apple makes it impossible for other AI companies to be able to reach number 1 in the app store charts apart from Openai or chatt. Musk claimed in a posting on its platform X. That is a “clear violation of antitrust law”.
As so often, X-users complemented the muscle posting by context and pointed out that other AI apps like Deepseek have also been able to get to the top of the app charts in recent months.
Musk apparently wants to go to Apple’s recommendation list
According to another posting, Musk is bothered by the fact that neither GROK nor X appear in the “must have” recommendations of the app store, although both apps have high chart places and thus many downloads on iPhones. “Do you make political games? What’s going on?” Musk threw into the room. There was no concrete lawsuit from Xai against Apple until Tuesday afternoon.
Musk has already stabbed Apple and the group’s app store rules several times in the past-as well as against Openaai. Musk was a co-founder of the Chatgpt company and has now been legally legally against Openaa because of alleged breach of contract. A lawsuit against Apple had so far not made a strain on Musk, and a personal conversation with Apple boss Tim Cook smoothed the waves in the last public dispute.
Openai so far Apple’s only AI partner
Apple had closed a partnership with Openai last summer to integrate an interface to Chatgpt in iOS and other operating systems. Apple intelligence and Siri users can use the chat bot in the cloud if Apple’s AI models do not provide an answer. According to reports, no money flows for iPhone integration-neither from Apple to Openaai nor vice versa. Many months ago, Apple promised to integrate other AI models such as Google Gemini as an extension into Apple Intelligence. So far it has not happened.
