Elon Musk Accuses Apple of Antitrust Violations

In a bold move, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly accused Apple of creating an environment within its App Store that unfairly benefits OpenAI, making it nearly impossible for other artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including his own xAI Corp, to compete for the top spot.

Legal Action on the Horizon

Musk took to X to declare that Apple's alleged favoritism constitutes an "unequivocal antitrust violation," signaling his intention to pursue "immediate legal action" through xAI Corp. This statement has sparked widespread discussion about the fairness and competitiveness of the App Store's ranking system.

Questioning Apple's Motives

Earlier, Musk raised concerns about Apple potentially "playing politics" by excluding both X and Grok from the App Store's 'Must Have' section, despite their high popularity rankings. This has led to further scrutiny of Apple's policies and their impact on app developers and companies.
