Musk’s xAI and X Sue Apple and OpenAI Over Alleged iPhone ChatGPT Exclusivity

The Texas filing challenges Apple’s ChatGPT integration as an unlawful exclusive that blocks fair competition.

Overview

  • xAI and X filed a federal antitrust complaint in Texas accusing Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to stifle rivals in generative AI.
  • The suit alleges Apple’s 2024 arrangement gives ChatGPT the only first‑party integration on iPhones and access to billions of potential prompts.
  • The plaintiffs seek billions in damages and claim App Store rankings and update delays have disadvantaged competitors including Grok.
  • OpenAI responded that the filing reflects what it called Musk’s ongoing pattern of harassment.
  • Apple has previously defended its App Store as fair, and coverage notes other chatbots have topped its charts at times.
