Elon Musk's X corp files to dismiss App Store favoritism case

Elon Musk's company, X Corp, has filed to dismiss a lawsuit against Apple regarding alleged favoritism towards OpenAI in the App Store. The lawsuit, which also named OpenAI, claimed that Apple gave preferential treatment to OpenAI's apps over those of xAI. According to AppleInsider, the court filing requesting dismissal was made on September 14, but it is unclear if a settlement has been reached or if Musk has decided to drop the case.

The dismissal request only applies to Apple, leaving OpenAI to face two major legal battles simultaneously. No further details on the dismissal or potential settlement have been provided.

Musk's decision to drop the lawsuit against Apple does not appear to be related to any recent public statements or documentary releases about his life and career.
