ā™ØļøNews ā€“ Ā Apple is pushing back against Elon Muskā€™s claims that its partnership with OpenAI is hurting AI competition. In a court filing on Tuesday, the company asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit brought by Muskā€™s xAI and X Corp, calling the case ā€œspeculation on top of speculation.ā€

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’»Fast facts ā€“Ā 

  • Muskā€™s companies filed the lawsuit in August, accusing Apple of tilting App Store rankings against rivals like Grok.

  • The complaint argued Appleā€™s agreement with OpenAI gave it an unfair advantage.

  • Apple said the deal is not exclusive and that it plans to work with other AI chatbot makers.

  • Its lawyers said Muskā€™s companies have not shown any credible evidence of harm.

šŸ¤“Open Tools POV ā€“ This case highlights the tension between tech partnerships and antitrust claims. For now, Apple is framing Muskā€™s complaint as weak, but the fight shows how competitive the AI race has become.
