US EditionApple, OpenAI Ask US Judge to Dismiss Musk’s Suit over AI Competition, App Store Rankings
Apple and OpenAI argue the lawsuit lacks merit and highlight Apple’s plan to support multiple AI chatbots beyond ChatGPT, disputing claims of unfair favoritism.
- Apple and OpenAI asked a U.S. federal judge on Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's xAI accusing them of illegal anti-competitive behavior in AI and App Store rankings.

- Apple's lawyers responded that their agreement with OpenAI is non-exclusive, they intend to partner with other AI providers, and antitrust laws do not require Apple to favor all competitors regardless of feasibility.
- OpenAI generated $4.3 billion in revenue and burned $2.5 billion in the first half of 2025, while Apple integrates ChatGPT in Siri and is exploring partnerships with Anthropic, Google, and Gemini.
- The court's ruling is pending, with implications for Apple’s AI partnerships and App Store policies amid ongoing competition in generative AI technology.
