Elon Musk and Sam Altman, once allies in the AI world, are now locked in a heated battle. Their dispute has now pulled in Apple, adding a new layer to this tech drama.
Musk, the head of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), accused Apple of favoring OpenAI's ChatGPT over his own AI chatbot, Grok. He claimed this is an antitrust violation and threatened legal action. Musk's accusation came after Apple teamed up with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its devices.
Altman, who co-founded OpenAI with Musk, fired back. He questioned Musk's motives, hinting at past allegations of Musk manipulating X to benefit himself. Altman suggested that any lawsuit from Musk could lead to a deeper investigation into these claims.
This isn't the first time Musk and Altman have clashed. Their falling out led to a legal battle last year, with Musk accusing Altman of straying from OpenAI's original mission.
The tech world is watching closely. This battle isn't just about two individuals; it's about the future of AI and who will control it.
