US EditionMusk threatens ‘immediate’ legal action against Apple over alleged antitrust violations
Elon Musk claims Apple’s App Store favors OpenAI’s ChatGPT, excluding his AI chatbot Grok and X app from top rankings, alleging anti-competitive bias and threatening immediate legal action.
- On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, Musk announced he plans to sue Apple, claiming it restricts AI apps like X and Grok in its App Store.
- On Monday, Musk accused Apple of unfairly favoring OpenAI’s ChatGPT and blocking xAI’s Grok and X from top rankings, threatening legal action.
- Market data shows Grok ranks fifth among free apps and X is the top news app, reflecting Apple’s $3,500,000,000,000 market cap and gatekeeper role.
- In premarket trading, Apple shares fell less than 1% to $225.92 after Musk’s lawsuit threat.
- Looking ahead, the trial could begin around 2027, and the lawsuit might scrutinize Apple’s partnership with OpenAI under Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
