2025 Apple stocks have fallen by almost 20%, losing more than $ 750 billion market value and decreasing from its most valuable positions in the world, especially due to investors’ frustration due to Apple’s artificial intelligence efforts, as Apple Intelligence has not impressed. Apple has a fresh headache this week, but this time the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, politely met, threatening “direct legal actions” if the technology giant does not remove the Open from the top of his App Store.
All of this was revealed late on Monday, when the billionaire Tesla’s CEO went to the social network bought for $ 44 billion X to equal the charges of the Apple and its App Store. Musk said the Apple rating system is “impossible for any AI company to reach the first place without the Open, the App Store, claiming that this means” a clear antitrust violation “and promising that his artificial intelligence will be launched by Xai.
The basis of the Musk’s complaint is GOK, AI Chat programs, which the Xai Startup launched as a direct competitor of Chatgpt. From Tuesday morning, Chatgpt ranks the coveted top place among free apps in the Apple App Store in the US and played in the sixth. For context: Google’s Gemini Chatbot follows far from 57th. Musk claims that inadequate favoritism, especially in terms of Apple’s high partnership with Openai, was announced in 2024. June, which integrates deeper Chatgpt with iPhone, iPad and Mac.
“Apple behaves in a way that interferes with any PG company except Open, from the fact that it has reached its highest position in the App Store, which is a clear violation of antimonopolistic laws,” Musk wrote in one post. the name, and Grok ranks fifth among all programs? Are you engaged in political maneuvering? ”
Musk attack against Apple comes to the climate when control of regulatory control has been controlled. Earlier this year, a US judge found that Apple had violated a court order demanding a change in the App Store’s competition rules after a video game studio epic game. In April, the European Union imposed a fine of EUR 500 million for blocking program developers from driving users to cheaper external offers, indicating anti -competitive behavior. Apple appeals to the decision.
