Musk blames the special deal for not promoting his AI company, more specifically, his chatbot Grok and the X platform, on Apple’s App Store, declaring that Grok has a million reviews with 4.9 average on the App Store and Apple hasn’t suggested the chatbot of xAI on any list.
’’This latest filing is consistent with Mr. Musk’s ongoing pattern of harassment,’’ responded OpenAI to Elon Musk's lawsuit, eventually opening charges against his harassing statements
Musk, the ex co-founder and co-chair of the AI company Open AI, sued one of the time OpenAI and Sam Altman in the past because the company transitioned from a non-profit to a for-profit company.
Plus, earlier this year, Elon Musk had made an unsolicited offer to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, but his bid was refused.
Anti-monopoly lawyers who haven’t directly handled the Elon Musk lawsuit case affirmed that Apple holds a leading position in the tech industry, and the connection between Apple’s smartphones and OpenAI’s ChatGPT can be considered an unlawful partnership.
In addition, they argued that Apple can defend the case by stating that the collaboration with OpenAI was strictly business-related in a high-stakes market and that they don’t owe support for other competitors and their businesses.
