Musk-Altman Battle Escalates as Tesla CEO Drags Apple Into the Spat
Musk alleges Apple favors OpenAI's ChatGPT in its App Store, calling it an antitrust violation and threatening immediate legal action amid a high-stakes AI rivalry.
- On Tuesday, Elon Musk accused Apple of an 'unequivocal antitrust violation' over App Store promotion of ChatGPT and threatened legal action.
- Last year, Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, had a public falling out after Musk accused the company of abandoning its founding mission by shifting to a for-profit capped-profit model.
- Musk pointed to App Store data showing Grok at fifth place compared to ChatGPT's first, and complained that ChatGPT appears in the 'Must-Have Apps' list.
- In response, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Musk's claim a `remarkable claim`.
- Amid concerns for India's AI sector, experts warn that reliance on U.S.-based firms controlling foundational AI models and app platforms risks strategic stability, as changes in App Store policies can hinder Indian AI startups.
