• OpenAI separately asked the judge to throw out the case, calling Musk’s allegations speculative and part of a broader “lawfare” campaign.
• Apple’s filing argues antitrust law does not require it to integrate every rival chatbot regardless of quality, privacy, safety, feasibility or commercial terms.
• The motion references reporting that Apple has discussed adding other services such as Google’s Gemini, echoing public remarks by Sundar Pichai.
