♨️News – Apple is pushing back against Elon Musk’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 Musk’s xAI and X Corp, calling the case “speculation on top of speculation.”
👨💻Fast facts –
Musk’s companies filed the lawsuit in August, accusing Apple of tilting App Store rankings against rivals like Grok.
The complaint argued Apple’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 Musk’s companies have not shown any credible evidence of harm.
🤓Open Tools POV – This case highlights the tension between tech partnerships and antitrust claims. For now, Apple is framing Musk’s complaint as weak, but the fight shows how competitive the AI race has become.
