xAI and X Corp drop Apple from antitrust lawsuit over App Store ranking
xAI
Musk's xAI, X Corp and SpaceX moved to dismiss Apple from their antitrust lawsuit, which had accused Apple of suppressing apps like Grok in App Store rankings. No settlement terms were disclosed, and the parallel claims against OpenAI remain live.
Why it matters
Dropping Apple removes the most high-profile defendant from the case days after Apple reportedly agreed to feature Grok more prominently, leaving OpenAI as the sole target of the suit's core allegations.
