"Elon Musk's war with OpenAI has several fronts, one of which is an August lawsuit in which xAI is suing Apple for partnering with OpenAI, and for allegedly ranking OpenAI's ChatGPT higher in the Apple App store than Grok which, if we had to guess, is based on actual popularity? The lawsuit claimed that Apple had joined forces with OpenAI "in a desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly," and accused OpenAI of trying to establish its own monopoly in the chatbot realm."
"Apple's filing also contends that it is "widely known that Apple intends to partner with other generative AI chatbots" besides ChatGPT. And it suggests that Apple would need, under Musk's suit's logic, to "simultaneously" partner with "every other generative AI chatbotregardless of quality, privacy or safety considerations, technical feasibility, stage of development, or commercial terms." "Of course, the antitrust laws do not require that," Apple's attorneys write"
xAI sued Apple alleging that Apple partnered with OpenAI and ranked ChatGPT above Grok in the App Store, claiming Apple sought to protect its smartphone monopoly. The suit accuses OpenAI of trying to establish a monopoly in chatbots and says OpenAI benefits from inhibiting competition. OpenAI characterized the suit as part of Musk's alleged pattern of harassment. Separately, OpenAI accuses Musk of sabotaging the company and cites his February undervalued buyout offer. Apple filed in Texas denying wrongdoing, calling Musk's antitrust injury claims speculative and arguing antitrust law does not mandate partnering with every generative AI chatbot regardless of quality, privacy, safety, feasibility, development stage, or commercial terms.
