GoKawiilX and SpaceXAI drop antitrust claims against Apple, continue suit against OpenAI
X and SpaceXAI filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss with prejudice their antitrust claims against Apple, while continuing to pursue claims against OpenAI in the same lawsuit. The case originally alleged that Apple's deal to integrate ChatGPT into Siri unfairly favored OpenAI over rival AI apps on the App Store. The dismissal still requires approval from Judge Mark Pittman, and Apple has not opposed the motion.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Dropping Apple narrows the legal fight to a direct clash between Musk's companies and OpenAI, echoing his separate personal lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI's leadership. The 'with prejudice' dismissal signals X and SpaceXAI won't revive these specific claims against Apple later, suggesting either a settlement or a strategic decision to focus resources on OpenAI as the primary target.
- X and SpaceXAI are dismissing all antitrust claims against Apple with prejudice, meaning they can't refile them later.
- Claims against OpenAI Foundation and its affiliated entities remain active in the lawsuit.
- The dismissal still needs court approval from Judge Mark Pittman before it becomes final.
