Elon Musk's xAI Sues Apple and OpenAI Over App Store Rankings

Elon Musk's xAI filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI on Monday, accusing the companies of behaving like monopolies and claiming Apple deprioritized ChatGPT rivals like Grok in the App Store. "This is a tale of two monopolists joining forces to ensure their continued dominance in a world rapidly driven by the most powerful technology humanity has ever created: artificial intelligence," the lawsuit alleges. "Working in tandem, Defendants Apple and OpenAI have locked up markets to maintain their monopolies and prevent innovators like X and xAI from competing." Grok is currently ranked third in the App Store for free productivity apps--behind only ChatGPT and Gmail. The'uncensored' chatbot is also integrated into Musk's social platform X, which is the number one free news app in the App Store.
