X and xAI filed a lawsuit accusing Apple and OpenAI of colluding to stifle competition and protect Apple's smartphone monopoly through their partnership. The complaint labels OpenAI a monopolist in generative AI chatbots and argues the Apple partnership inhibits innovation and competitive entry. Elon Musk has a long history of disputes with OpenAI, including attempts to block its for-profit transition and an unsolicited $97.4 billion takeover bid. Sam Altman publicly criticized Musk's claims and alleged manipulations on X. The Apple–OpenAI partnership was announced in June, with collaborative features expected to ship in December; no immediate responses were given by Apple or OpenAI.
"In a desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly, Apple has joined forces with the company that most benefits from inhibiting competition and innovation in AI: OpenAI, a monopolist in the market for generative AI chatbots,"
"This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like. https://t.co/HlgzO4c2iC- Sam Altman (@sama) August 12, 2025"
"impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store."
