xAI and X Corp. voluntarily dismissed their antitrust claims against Apple on September 14 in a Texas federal court, narrowing their lawsuit to OpenAI alone. The original complaint, filed in August 2025, alleged that the Apple-OpenAI partnership gave OpenAI access to 80% of the chatbot market share, effectively locking out competitors like Musk’s own Grok chatbot. In November 2025, US District Judge Mark Pittman denied both companies’ motions to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed. Apple consistently maintained that its partnership with OpenAI was never exclusive, and this dismissal now removes a legal overhang, enabling the company to continue expanding its AI partnerships without antitrust concerns.
