Ilon Musk accused Apple of violating antimonopoly legislation, saying that the APP Store policy puts the GROK chat Bot from his XII company in a disadvantage compared to Openai Chatgpt. According to the mask, Apple creates conditions under which no other AI company can take first place in the application store. He promised to sue.
Musk noted that Chatgpt is the only chat boot that got to the “Must-Have Apps” Apps Store, while its X and Grok applications are not included there, despite the high positions in the ratings. He considers this a sign of bias and connects with the partnership of Apple and Openai, declared in June 2024. As part of the ChatGPT transaction, it was built into the iPhone, iPad and Mac.
This conflict can develop into a new antitrust investigation, because Apple has already encountered similar accusations due to control over the App Store and promoting some applications at the expense of others.
So far, Apple is not commenting on the situation.
