Elon Musk has threatened Apple with legal action for what he perceives as overt favoritism towards OpenAI's ChatGPT app in its App Store rankings. In a series of posts on X on Monday, he wrote that Grok, the chatbot created by his own company xAI, was being unfairly penalized by the iPhone -maker.

Apple on Thursday rejected Elon Musk’s claim that its digital App Store favours OpenAI’s ChatGPT over his company’s Grok and other rival AI assistants.

Apple denied allegations that its App Store algorithms or curated lists favour ChatGPT over Musk’s offerings. “The App Store is designed to be fair and free of bias,” the company insisted, adding that recommendations are based on charts, algorithms, and expert editorial curation using objective criteria, according to multiple media reports.
