Musk firms sue Apple and OpenAI, alleging they hurt competition

Elon Musk's companies, including Neuralink and X (formerly Twitter), have filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, alleging that they have engaged in anti-competitive practices that have harmed competition. The lawsuit focuses on Apple's decision to integrate ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, into the operating systems of its smartphones. The plaintiffs argue that this move gives Apple an unfair advantage in the AI market and stifles competition. The lawsuit claims that Apple's actions have made it more difficult for other AI companies, such as Neuralink and X, to compete in the market. It alleges that Apple's integration of ChatGPT into its devices has given it a dominant position in the AI industry, which has negatively impacted the ability of other companies to innovate and thrive. The plaintiffs are seeking damages and injunctive relief to address what they perceive as anti-competitive behavior by Apple and OpenAI.
