Elon Musk has threatened Apple with legal action for what he perceives as overt favoritism towards OpenAI's ChatGPT app in its App Store rankings. In a series of posts on X, he claimed that Grok, the chatbot created by his own company xAI, was being unfairly penalized by the iPhone maker.

The tech mogul is threatening immediate legal action, accusing the iPhone maker of an "unequivocal antitrust violation" designed to favor his AI rival.

BILLIONAIRE Elon Musk said on Monday his artificial intelligence (AI) startup xAI would take legal action against Apple, accusing the iPhone maker of breaching antitrust regulations in managing the App Store rankings.
