Musk's xAI, X Corp Settle Apple Antitrust Case as OpenAI Claims Remain Active

Elon Musk's xAI and X Corp have resolved a federal antitrust lawsuit against Apple, though the companies indicated they will continue pursuing similar claims against OpenAI. Filed in August 2025 in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the 61-page complaint accused Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to monopolize smartphone and generative AI chatbot markets through exclusive arrangements that stifled competition. With the settlement announced on September 14, 2026, Apple has been removed from the case, but no terms or financial details were disclosed in court filings.
