Musk vs OpenAI and Apple: a rival accuses them of rigging the AI race

Elon Musk's xAI is fighting Apple and OpenAI in court, alleging they colluded to favour ChatGPT. OpenAI's camp points to a jury that already tossed Musk's earlier suit and questions xAI's own conduct.

The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.

On the other side, a jury unanimously dismissed Musk's earlier suit as filed too late, and coverage frames the new case as a reflection of xAI's competitive struggles rather than proof of any collusion.
