Elon Musk’s xAI sues Apple and OpenAI

Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of working together to block fair competition in the AI market. The case was submitted in federal court in Texas on August 25, 2025.

Key Points:

• Alleged Collusion: The lawsuit claims Apple and OpenAI have created an unfair setup by integrating ChatGPT directly into iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This, according to xAI, leaves little room for rival apps like Grok to gain visibility.

• Market Control: xAI argues that Apple’s dominance in smartphones, combined with OpenAI’s lead in AI, gives it control over the market, shutting out alternatives and limiting consumer choice.

• Impact on Rivals: The suit says AI competitors are pushed down in App Store rankings and prevented from competing on equal terms, which reduces innovation.

• Relief Sought: Musk’s companies are asking for billions in damages and a court order to stop what they call anticompetitive practices.

• Industry Stakes: The case could become a turning point, as courts may need to decide whether the AI market should be treated as its own antitrust category.

• Responses: OpenAI described the lawsuit as part of Musk’s ongoing dispute with the company, while Apple has not yet commented.
