Elon Musk sues Apple and OpenAI over anticompetitive collusion

The suit claims Apple’s integration of ChatGPT gives OpenAI a monopoly in generative AI chatbots and blocks fair competition.

Elon Musk’s X and xAI initiated legal action against Apple and OpenAI on Monday. The suit alleges anticompetitive collusion between the technology giants, aiming to stifle competition within the artificial intelligence and smartphone sectors. The filing underscores a continuing conflict involving Musk, Apple, and OpenAI.

The lawsuit specifically addresses Apple’s collaboration with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its operating systems. The legal document asserts that Apple, in an attempt to maintain its dominance in the smartphone market, is working with OpenAI, which the suit characterizes as a “monopolist in the market for generative AI chatbots.” The suit claims this partnership inhibits competition and innovation in the AI field.

This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like. https://t.co/HlgzO4c2iC

This legal challenge represents the latest episode in an ongoing series of disputes between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. Both figures have publicly criticized each other’s business practices and strategies. Musk, a co-founder and former co-chair of OpenAI, previously filed a lawsuit to prevent OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model. He also made an unsuccessful bid to acquire OpenAI for $97.4 billion.

Earlier this month, Musk voiced anticompetitive concerns regarding Apple and OpenAI on X, claiming that OpenAI holds an unfair advantage in the App Store. He asserted it is “impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store.” The partnership between Apple and OpenAI, initially announced in June, anticipates the release of collaborative features in December.
