Elon Musk drops antitrust lawsuit against Apple
Elon Musk’s companies, X Corp and SpaceXAI, have moved to dismiss their antitrust lawsuit against Apple in a Texas federal court. The legal action, originally filed in 2025, accused Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to monopolize the smartphone and generative AI markets by integrating ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence, which Musk claimed gave OpenAI an unfair advantage over competitors like his own AI, Grok.
The motion to dismiss the claims against Apple was filed with prejudice, meaning the specific allegations against the iPhone maker cannot be refiled. While the court documents do not specify the exact reasons for the withdrawal or whether a financial settlement was reached, Apple has not opposed the motion.
However, the legal battle is not over for all parties. Musk’s companies are continuing their antitrust litigation against OpenAI. The ongoing dispute focuses on allegations regarding OpenAI’s transition from a non-profit to a profit-driven entity and its market dominance in the chatbot sector.
