Overview
- In filings on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Apple and OpenAI asked a judge to toss claims brought by Musk’s xAI and X Corp.
- Apple called the allegations “speculation on top of speculation” and said antitrust law does not require it to partner with every generative AI provider.
- Apple emphasized it intends to work with multiple chatbots beyond OpenAI, with industry reporting pointing to talks involving Google’s Gemini and contacts with Anthropic.
- OpenAI urged dismissal and described Musk’s litigation as a “campaign of lawfare,” arguing xAI has not shown non‑speculative, anticompetitive harm from ChatGPT’s Siri fallback.
- Filed in August, the suit seeks billions in damages over alleged App Store favoritism and Siri integration that excluded Grok; the case, X Corp. v. Apple Inc., 25‑cv‑00914, remains pending without a ruling.
