US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled on Tuesday that Musk would face allegations of weaponized legal claims and continued social media attacks against his former business colleague-turned-rival Sam Altman, and the artificial intelligence company that they co-founded together, which produces ChatGPT.

At the time of writing, ChatGPT is listed as Apple’s top free iPhone app in the US, with Grok ranked as the sixth. China’s DeepSeek AI briefly managed to take the top App Store position from ChatGPT in January, however, disproving Musk’s claim that it would be impossible for other AI apps to do so.

Elon Musk said his artificial intelligence start up xAI will sue Apple for allegedly favoring AI competitors in its App Store in what he called a breach of antitrust regulations.
