Musk's X And SpaceXAI Withdraw Antitrust Suit Against Apple
The withdrawal leaves X's broader claim that Apple rigged App Store rankings untested in court, while the parallel OpenAI case over ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence proceeds.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
Elon Musk's X and SpaceXAI have withdrawn their antitrust lawsuit against Apple, according to a September 14 filing. The companies had argued that Apple lowered the App Store rankings of Grok and X, and sought damages. The filing did not state a reason for the withdrawal or whether a settlement was reached. A separate suit against OpenAI over ChatGPT integration into Apple Intelligence continues.
The companies gave no reason for the withdrawal in the September 14 filing, and did not say whether Apple agreed to a settlement. Apple had sought dismissal in October 2025, arguing the claims were speculation piled upon speculation, but the court did not grant it.
X filed the case in August 2025, alleging Apple manipulated App Store rankings so that Grok and X would not reach the top, and seeking damages. A companion suit against OpenAI over its ChatGPT integration into Apple Intelligence is still active and is expected to continue.
