Musk is enrang with Apple, whom he threatens with a demand to favor OpenAI in the App Store

Elon Muskwhich seemed somewhat calmer lately, He has re -brought his proverbial combative mood to threaten Apple with possible legal actions to allegedly favor OpenAi in the rankings of his appthorE to the detriment of other AI companies (in particular to their own: XAI).

«Apple is behaving in a way that makes it impossible for any AI company, beyond OpenAi, reach the number one position in the App Storewhich constitutes an unequivocal violation of the antitrust regulations », denounces yesterday Elon Musk in the social network X.

In another publication disseminated through this platform The South African businessman directly appealed to Apple to ask the apple company why he did not place X or Grok in the “Must Have” section of his App Store When X is the number one current app throughout the world and Grok is among the five most popular applications.

Currently chatgptthe famous OpenAi’s chatbot, It is positioned in the first position in the American free free applications ranking in the App Storewhile Grok appears in fifth place.

Musk’s regrets suggest that OpenAi’s alliance with Apple (By virtue of which Chatgpt is integrated into the iPhones of the Cupertino company) They could be moving the American multinational to illegally favor the company led by Sam Altman A LA App Store.

Sam Altman, the OpenAi CEO, has not remained in a quiet mode before the complaint expressed by Elon Musk, whom he responded in X as follows: “It is an amazing statement according to what I have heard that Elon does to manipulate X for their own benefit and that of their companies, and to the detriment of their competitors and the people who do not result from their pleasure.” Several reports effectively conclude that Elon Musk would be supposedly manipulating the algorithmic recommendations of X to give greater prominence to their own publications on this platform.

Elon Musk’s bad relationship and Sam Altman comes from afar (and has translated into a couple of demands)

Elon Musk’s criticisms only make more firewood to his bad relationship with Openai and his CEO Sam Altman. The South African magnate was involved in the OpenAi foundation with Altman in 2015, but cut Moorras with the company three years later after a series of disagreements with other executives of the Chatgpt matrix.

Since then Musk has publicly expressed his animosity to Openai on multiple occasionswho has sued, in fact, twice on account of its projected metamorphosis in a profit company. For his part, Altman has cast his resentment and his meanness in face and has accused him of being envious of the successes harvested by OpenAi after his departure from the company.

Musk defended yesterday from Altman’s accusations that he would be allegedly manipulating X to favor his own posts emphasizing that the publication of the OpenAi CEO accumulated more than 3 million visualizations, many more than some of his posts (despite exceeding him widely in number of “followers” in this social network).

Musk’s response did not satisfy Altman, who continued to attack South African in X And even signing an affidavit in which he affirmed that he had never manipulated the algorithms of this social network for his own benefit.

Meanwhile, and a half of the frank dialectical battle initiated by Musk and Altman in X, aLugo users of the social network recalled that OpenAi applications are not in the only way that occupy the top positions in the Apple App Store.

The Depseek small app conquered, for example, the number one in January, while Perplexity perched on the first position in India last July.

A user also had the occurrence of asking Grokthe chatbot of the integrated in x, Who was right in this dispute, and he replied thatbased on tests of verified nature, Sam Altman was right in such a cuckold fray.

So and everything, and despite what Grok is right to Apple and Sam Altman, the truth is that The App -company App Store has long been in the authorities’ peephole to this and on the other side of the Atlantic for incurring monopolistic practices (That is Elon Musk throws the company led by Tim Cook).
