Elon Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI dropped their antitrust lawsuit against Apple

The companies moved to dismiss claims that Apple illegally shut out rivals by integrating ChatGPT into its devices, but will continue pursuing OpenAI

Elon Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI dropped their antitrust lawsuit against Apple

Elon Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI's division have resolved their antitrust lawsuit against Apple, according to court documents filed on Monday. The lawsuit, originally brought last year, accused Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to illegally monopolize markets for smartphones and generative AI chatbots. In the court filing, X and SpaceXAI requested to dismiss the claims, though the reasons for dismissal were not specified.

The resolution ends the high-profile legal battle, though claims against OpenAI will continue. The lawsuit claimed Apple had exclusively integrated OpenAI's ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence features on iPhones and other Apple devices, unlawfully shutting out rivals. X and SpaceXAI said they will pursue claims against OpenAI, which also faces a separate lawsuit from OpenAI.

Musk's companies did not respond to requests for comment, while Apple and OpenAI declined to comment. OpenAI denied any wrongdoing, accusing Musk of a "campaign of lawfare."
