Hey Elon, go ahead and ban Apple devices


Following WWDC 2024, Elon Musk threatened to ban Apple devices at his companies if Apple's partnership with OpenAI goes through. So enough with the talk, let's see him actually do it.

Even if we’re just talking about phones — which according to Counterpoint Research Apple currently has a 52 percent market share in the US — around 80,000 of Musk’s 155,000 employees would be subject to the ban, if general statistics hold true. Musk followed up his statements by saying “It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple says it will have its own AI models that will either run on-device or in a private compute cloud, and will only send data to OpenAI with a user’s explicit permission on a strict opt-in basis.
