✓ Fact Checked
Key Takeaways
- Elon Musk stated that xAI will sue Apple, claiming its App Store favors ChatGPT and limits visibility for Grok and X;
- Grok ranked 6th in US "Top Free Apps" while ChatGPT was 1st, and Musk said high rankings impact downloads;
- Grok’s account claimed Apple’s app curation favors established AI tools over newer competitors.
Elon Musk has said his artificial intelligence (AI) company, xAI, plans to take Apple to court over how its App Store promotes AI apps.
He claimed that Apple’s system prioritizes OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which makes it harder for other AI services, including his chatbot Grok and the X app, to be seen.
Musk argued in an August 12 post on X that the App Store's setup prevents any AI tool other than ChatGPT from reaching the top position. He described this as a violation of competition rules and said his company would take legal action.

Hey Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either X or Grok in your ‘Must Have’ section when X is the #1 news app in the world. Are you playing politics? What gives?
