X Corp and SpaceXAI Withdraw Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple
Elon Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI have dropped their antitrust lawsuit against Apple, ending a year-long legal dispute. The case had accused Apple of colluding with OpenAI to monopolize the market for smartphones and generative AI chatbots by integrating ChatGPT into its devices exclusively. While no settlement details were disclosed in court filings, both companies confirmed they would dismiss claims brought last August 2025 against Apple. The lawsuit claimed that Apple's exclusive partnership with OpenAI limited competition among chatbot developers. Although the case against OpenAI continues, it has stated it was not part of any agreement between Musk’s firms and Apple. Both Apple and OpenAI have denied engaging in illegal conduct regarding their collaboration on AI integration into iPhones. The legal battle comes amid broader strategic moves by Musk to consolidate his AI ventures under X Corp and SpaceX following a $33 billion acquisition last year, as well as the recent purchase of xAI by SpaceX.
