The suit accuses the AI company of maintaining an unlawful monopoly over the chatbot market through anti-competitive conduct.\n\nMusk's companies filed the suit in August, seeking billions of dollars over claims that Apple's decision to integrate OpenAI into the iPhone's operating system inhibits competition and innovation within the AI industry and harms consumers by depriving them of choice.\n\nRepresentatives for Musk's companies and Apple and OpenAI didn't immediately return requests for comment.\n\nApple and OpenAI have denied the claims, arguing that their arrangement — which let users access ChatGPT results within Siri and use the AI technology as part of certain iPhone features — was never exclusive. OpenAI also described the lawsuit as part of a pattern of harassment by Musk against the firm he co-founded and then left.\n\nMuch has changed since the lawsuit was filed.\n\nApple and OpenAI's relationship has soured significantly in the two years since it was first announced. In May, Bloomberg reported that OpenAI was exploring legal options against Apple after failing to see expected benefits from their arrangement.\n\nIn July, Apple sued OpenAI for trade secret theft and accused the company and its hardware chief of engaging in a coordinated campaign to steal information about upcoming products.\n\nThe case is X Corp. et al v. Apple Inc., US District Court, Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth).\n\n--With assistance from Carmen Arroyo.\n\nMost Read from Bloomberg Businessweek\n\n©2026 Bloomberg L.P.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musks-xai-resolves-claims-against-apple-over-ai-competition", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/musk-xai-resolves-claims-against-152211610.html", "published_at": "2026-09-14 15:22:11+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-14 16:27:56.595313+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["xAI", "X Corp.", "Apple Inc.", "OpenAI", "Elon Musk", "ChatGPT", "Siri", "US District Court, Northern District of Texas"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musks-xai-resolves-claims-against-apple-over-ai-competition", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musks-xai-resolves-claims-against-apple-over-ai-competition.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musks-xai-resolves-claims-against-apple-over-ai-competition.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/musks-xai-resolves-claims-against-apple-over-ai-competition.jsonld"}}
