The most recent court filings demonstrate notable advancements in the legal case initiated by Elon Musk's xAI against Apple and OpenAI. The central objective of this lawsuit is to propel the transformation of the X platform into a 'super - app', rather than merely aiming to enhance the ranking of the Grok app on the App Store.

The origins of this case can be traced back to August 2025. After an update, the Grok app failed to claim the top spot in the App Store rankings. This setback led Musk to file a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of forming an improper alliance.

At present, xAI is actively pursuing vital evidence from South Korean entities via international judicial assistance procedures, and this endeavor has been granted court approval.

Two legal documents made public by the media show that xAI has sent requests for document retrieval to South Korea's Kakao Corporation and Ant Group. The purpose is to substantiate claims that Apple harbors concerns about all - in - one apps. Additionally, xAI has lodged antitrust accusations, alleging that Apple and OpenAI have entered into an exclusive agreement. This agreement is said to be aimed at jointly curbing the growth opportunities of potential super apps like X, with the intention of safeguarding Apple's smartphone monopoly and its ability to set prices.
