There is a new company at the center of the intense war between Elon Musk and Sam Altman: Apple.
Musk and Altman, who helped Openai to start with a group of other founding partners ten years ago, accused Musk, Altman of leaving the founding mission of the artificial intelligence company, where a people fell last year.
On Monday, when words and cases threatened to “emergency” legal action on the allegation of antiitröst violations of Musk’s Apple, he made another dramatic return on Monday. Musk’s complaint on the social media site is that Apple supports Openai’s Chatgpt via Openai’s Gok Chatbot in the App Store.
“Apple acts in a way that makes it impossible for any AI company to reach the number 1 in the App Store, which is a definite violation of any AI company,” Musk writtenWithout showing evidence. “Xai will immediately make legal action.”
Apple partner With Openai in mid -2014 to integrate Chatgpt into iPhone, iPad, Mac laptop and desktop products. Readers added context to Musk’s mission and said that China’s Deepseek reached the highest point of the App Store in January of this year and that the astonishment was the number 1 in India in July.
Altman quickly responded to Musk’s accusations.
“This is given that Elon claims that he claims to manipulate X X to benefit him and his own companies and to harm his rivals and people he doesn’t like,” Altman written X in a post on Monday night.
Altman referred to the 2023 report from Tech News site Platform This announced how Musk made Twitter (now X), how he made sweeping platform changes and created a special system to show you all. Tweets first.“
Altman, if Musk filed a lawsuit, he said he hoped that it would lead to “exploring against this issue” and added that he and his others “want to know what happened,” he said.
Daud continued on Tuesday morning.
“You have a 3m view in your muffles — Post, a liar, much more than many, although I have 50 times my follower!” Musk written.
Musk’s X account shows that he has 224 million followers, but he never announced how many boots could be. Altman’s account in X lists 3.9 million followers.
Altman retreated and asked Musk’s “X algorithm that he would never make any changes to damaging your competitors” or if he had helped his own companies, and in return, he said.
Neither Musk nor his lawyers did not respond to their requests for comments. Openai directed CNBC to Altman’s tasks and the company’s past statements.
“The App Store is designed to be fair and prejudiced,” an Apple spokesman said in a statement.
“Our goal is to provide a safe discovery for users and valuable opportunities for developers, and many of them cooperate to increase the visibility of application in rapidly developing categories.”
Problematic date
As part of his case against Openai, Musk asked a federal court to stop the transformation of the AI attempt into a non -profit -free. Musk argued that Openai had abandoned his original mission to develop to develop for the benefit of humanity as a non -profit organization. A federal judge in California rejected the effort to stop the transformation of Musk.
In the late 2022, Openai has emerged as a major commercial business since the public launch of the Chatgpt, and now he has discussed investors about the sale of a stock that would value $ 500 billion to the company.
In March 2023, Musk founded Xai and announced his first exit four months later. Since then, he has collected billions of dollars for the company, combined with X, and called on Tesla, a public job, to invest billions of more in AI.
In February, an investor group led by MISK offered to purchase Openai’s control for $ 97.4 billion. Altman answered X and “No thank you, but if you want, we will buy Twitter for $ 9.74 billion.”
While dragging Apple into a dispute, Musk focused on the App Store, where Chatgpt is a free application, which is currently a free application, which is currently a free application. Musk had a problem with the list of Chatgpt as “absolute applications” of the store.
“When x is #1 news application in the world and all applications are grok #5, why do you refuse to put X or Gok in your ‘must be’ section? Are you playing a policy?” Musk wrote in an article.
Gok versions are full of safety problems and concerns surrounding the manipulation of technology. In May, Chatbot encouraged false allegations about the allegation of “white genocide” in South Africa, and caused Musk to write that automatic responses were the result of “unauthorized change”. In July, the Gok response in X praised Adolf Hitler.
Musk’s threats to Apple face pressure from regulators and competitors through the iPhone manufacturer, application store policies. In June, a Judges Panel rejected Apple’s emergency application to stop the changes in the company’s application store caused by epic games. In 2021, a judge decided that Apple could not prohibit developers’ users from the company’s in -app purchase, which brought up to 30% of gross sales.
