OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Clashes with Elon Musk Over Apple Lawsuit Threat
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly rebuked Elon Musk's threat to sue Apple, calling the accusations hypocritical. Musk alleges Apple manipulates App Store rankings to favor OpenAI's ChatGPT—a move he claims violates antitrust laws. Altman countered by accusing Musk of similar platform manipulation on X, where he allegedly prioritizes his own content.
The dispute underscores escalating tensions between the two tech titans. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder until 2018, has repeatedly clashed with Altman, including filing a lawsuit against the AI firm in April. Apple remains silent on Musk's claims as the AI industry's competitive landscape grows increasingly contentious.
