Elon Musk’s xAI has filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, claiming that their partnership unfairly hinders competition in the AI market. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI benefits from user prompts from iPhones, giving it a significant advantage in improving its chatbot technology, while Apple is allegedly deprioritizing competing AI apps in its App Store.

Elon Musk sought Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's assistance in financing a $97.4 billion takeover of OpenAI, as revealed in recent court filings related to Musk's legal battle with the company. Musk's motivation stemmed from his discontent with OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model, leading to a rift between him and OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman. OpenAI has countered Musk's claims, alleging harassment and harm to its business from Musk's actions.
