Part 2/13:
One of the standout issues Elon brought up today concerns the alleged anti-competitive behavior by Apple regarding AI apps in the App Store. Musk claims that Apple's conduct effectively prevents any AI company besides OpenAI from reaching the top of the app charts, which he considers a blatant violation of antitrust laws, specifically Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
Elon announced that XAI, his AI venture, is preparing for immediate legal action against Apple. He pointed out recent examples where AI apps like DeepSeek and Perplexity reached number one on app stores shortly after signing agreements with OpenAI, implying that Apple’s exclusive integration deal with ChatGPT curates promotions and boosts for OpenAI while suppressing competitors like Grock, a rising AI app.
