Elon Musk’s xAI Sues Apple and OpenAI Over App Store Rankings


The xAI lawsuit claims that Grok's ranking below ChatGPT is a sign of allegedly monopolistic behavior.

“This is a tale of two monopolists joining forces to ensure their continued dominance in a world rapidly driven by the most powerful technology humanity has ever created: artificial intelligence,” the lawsuit alleges. “This means that if iPhone users want to use a generative AI chatbot for key tasks on their devices, they have no choice but to use ChatGPT, even if they would prefer to use more innovative and imaginative products like xAI’s Grok,” the lawsuit claims. “These effects on the market—less competition, less scale necessary to compete, less investment, and less innovation—ultimately harm consumers through lower quality, less choice, and higher prices than would exist in the but-for world without Defendants’ anticompetitive conduct,” the lawsuit reads.
