by Billionaire SpaceX, Tesla and X owner Elon Musk says he intends to sue Apple for not with X and the grok artificial intelligence chatbot -app in his best recommended apps in his app store.
Musk posted the reactions to X at the end of Monday and said: “Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse X or grok to place in your ‘must have’ section when x the #1 news app is in the world and grock is #5 under all apps do you play? What gives? What gives?
Grok is owned by Musk’s artificial intelligence Startup Xai.
Musk continued to say that “Apple behaves in a way that makes it impossible for an AI company to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unambiguous violation of antitrust. Xai will take immediate legal steps.”
He did not give any further details.
