Elon Musk threatens Apple with lawsuit over OpenAI, sparking online feud with Sam Altman
Elon Musk has accused Apple of antitrust violations, claiming its App Store favors OpenAI’s ChatGPT and blocks his AI startup xAI’s Grok from topping charts. Musk warned of immediate legal action after Grok ranked fifth while ChatGPT held the No.1 spot. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman fired back on X, accusing Musk of manipulating algorithms to benefit his own companies. The spat revives tensions between the former OpenAI co-founders amid wider regulatory scrutiny of Apple’s App Store practices.
