Elon Musk's companies ordered to explain why they dropped antitrust claims against Apple
A conservative Trump appointee ordered Musk's firms to reveal deals with Apple after dropping antitrust claims. OpenAI remains in the lawsuit.
A federal judge has ordered Elon Musk's companies to reveal any settlement agreements between X Corp and Apple, following their decision to drop antitrust claims against Apple. The lawsuit alleges that Apple and OpenAI have conspired to dominate the artificial intelligence market, impacting app store rankings. OpenAI is currently pursuing its own antitrust case against X Corp and SpaceXAI, claiming the two companies colluded to maintain their dominance in the AI sector, including through a 2024 deal to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into Apple's iPhones.
X Corp dropped its Apple claims without explanation, but the judge, Mark Pittman, requires the disclosure of any settlement details before the dismissal of the claims.
