Summary
Elon Musk's companies X Corp. and xAI are suing Apple and OpenAI, alleging that their partnership to integrate ChatGPT into iPhones as the default AI assistant creates anti-competitive practices. The lawsuit claims Apple's App Store is "deprioritizing" rival AI apps like Musk's Grok and X, while forcing users to use ChatGPT when enabling Apple Intelligence features. Musk's companies argue this arrangement locks up markets and prevents innovation by maintaining monopolies.
