Lawsuit Shakes Up Tech Industry
Elon Musk’s startup, xAI, is taking Apple and OpenAI to court. Musk says the two companies are working together to keep other AI chatbots out of the App Store. His lawsuit says Apple’s deal with OpenAI makes it hard for any company besides OpenAI to succeed.
Why Musk Is Upset
Apple plans to put ChatGPT right into iPhones and Siri. Musk thinks this will push other chatbots, like his Grok, down the rankings. He says it is “impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store.”
The Drama Behind the Scenes
Musk and OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, have been rivals for years. Musk once tried to buy OpenAI for $97 billion, but the offer was rejected. The two have argued in public and on social media.
What’s Next for Apple and OpenAI
Apple and OpenAI have not replied to the lawsuit yet. They are still planning to launch new features by December. Many experts are watching to see what happens next.
