Apple accused by Musk of rigging App Store to block AI rivals, xAI vows lawsuit

Musk’s complaint centers on Apple’s alleged favoritism towards OpenAI, effectively locking out competitors from top App Store positions.

Elon Musk on Monday accused Apple of antitrust violations, alleging the tech giant is blocking any artificial intelligence company other than OpenAI from reaching the No. 1 spot in its App Store rankings. Calling this an “unequivocal antitrust violation,” Musk declared that his company, xAI, will take immediate legal action.

In a post on X, Musk said, “xAI will take immediate legal action.”
