OpenAI says SEC disclosures undermine xAI’s antitrust lawsuit
OpenAI has asked a Texas federal judge to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit brought by Elon Musk's xAI, arguing that public securities disclosures made by SpaceX contradict claims of competitive harm. OpenAI claims that regulatory filings and evidence show Apple's integration of ChatGPT was underperforming and did not establish a chatbot monopoly.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI asked a Texas federal judge to throw out an antitrust lawsuit brought by Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI before trial, arguing that disclosures by xAI parent company SpaceX undermine claims that Apple’s partnership with OpenAI shut out rivals.
OpenAI on Tuesday asked US District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth to rule for OpenAI based on the facts so far in the case, which is now set for a trial in January.
Musk’s companies sued Apple and OpenAI last year, alleging Apple violated antitrust law by exclusively integrating ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence features on iPhones and other Apple devices.
Apple and OpenAI have denied any wrongdoing. Apple previously said its integration deal with OpenAI was not exclusive. X said last week it has settled with Apple, but the terms have not been disclosed.
