Musk threatens 'immediate' legal action against Apple over alleged antitrust violations

Elon Musk, the CEO of xAI, has issued a stark warning to Apple, claiming potential legal action over alleged antitrust infringements concerning the ranking of his AI chatbot application, Grok. In a post on X, Musk expressed his frustration, stating, "Apple's actions are creating a scenario where no AI company other than OpenAI can achieve the top spot in the App Store, which clearly constitutes an antitrust violation. xAI is prepared to take immediate legal action." Musk further questioned Apple's decisions, asking, "Why do you refuse to feature either X or Grok in your 'Must Have' section, especially when X stands as the leading news app globally and Grok ranks fifth among all applications? Are you engaging in political maneuvering?" This situation is rapidly developing, and updates are expected as the confrontation unfolds.
