- Elon Musk says he will sue Apple over the X and Grok apps' ranking on the App Store.
- Musk called Apple's behavior an "unequivocal antitrust violation."
- OpenAI's ChatGPT is ranked first on Apple's App Store, while Grok is ranked fifth.
Elon Musk said on Monday that xAI will take "immediate legal action" against Apple for its bias toward OpenAI on its App Store.
"Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation," Musk wrote in an X post.
xAI and Apple did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
Earlier, Musk had asked Apple on X why its App Store had not placed X higher in the rankings. Musk said X deserved the spot for being "the #1 news app in the world."
"Are you playing politics? What gives? Inquiring minds want to know," Musk added.
As of press time, OpenAI's ChatGPT is ranked first on the App Store, while Grok is ranked fifth.
"Unfortunately, what choice do we have? Apple didn't just put their thumb on the scale, they put their whole body!" Musk wrote on X on Monday.
