Elon Musk's companies, X and SpaceX, have officially withdrawn their antitrust lawsuit against Apple. The companies filed the request in a Texas federal court on Monday, ending the legal challenge that accused Apple of monopolizing the smartphone and generative AI chatbot markets.
The original complaint alleged that Apple violated antitrust laws by integrating ChatGPT exclusively into its Apple Intelligence features. The plaintiffs claimed this partnership unfairly excluded competitors from the ecosystem. The court documents do not specify the reasons for the withdrawal or mention any potential settlement.
Despite dropping the case against Apple, X and SpaceX intend to continue their legal pursuit against OpenAI. The developer of ChatGPT remains a defendant in the ongoing litigation. The companies have not provided further details regarding their next steps in the case against the AI firm.
