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.
Musk and xAI allege Apple and OpenAI colluded to advantage ChatGPT in the App Store, boxing out rivals like X and xAI from becoming a 'super app' — and the fight is escalating, with a court ordering Musk to hand over internal Tesla and SpaceX emails.
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.
