On September 17, 2026, Musk's X and SpaceXAI voluntarily withdrew their antitrust lawsuit against Apple but continued to pursue OpenAI. Previously, X and SpaceXAI had accused Apple and OpenAI of restricting the visibility of competitive AI applications in the App Store through the integration of ChatGPT, with both parties denying the allegations. U.S. Federal Judge Mark Pittman, in response to OpenAI's emergency motion, demanded that X and SpaceXAI disclose any agreements reached with Apple regarding the withdrawal of the lawsuit and ordered them to respond by noon local time on September 17.
