Musk previously accused Apple of violating antitrust rules by favoring ChatGPT over other AI apps (such as Grok).

This prevents any AI company other than OpenAI from reaching the top of the App Store, a clear antitrust violation. He stated that his subsidiary, xAI, will immediately take legal action.

Musk also claimed that Apple refused to include X or Grok apps in the App Store's "Must-Have" section, while ChatGPT was included there.

Apple responded today, calling the App Store "fair and unbiased."

Apple stated that the App Store aims to showcase thousands of apps through rankings, algorithmic recommendations, and expert curated lists. All recommendations are based on objective criteria. Its goal is to provide users with a safe channel for app discovery while creating valuable opportunities for developers. The company also collaborates with many developers to increase the visibility of apps in rapidly growing fields.

In fact, Musk provided no evidence of Apple's alleged antitrust violations, and earlier this year, the Chinese AI app DeepSeek topped the App Store charts.

Currently, ChatGPT ranks first on the free app list, Grok is fifth, and X App is 32nd.
