Why Elon Musk Says Apple’s App Store Isn’t Playing Fair

The quiet war that could change your downloads. Are Apple’s AI App Rankings Really Objective?

Apple’s App Store favors rival AI

 

Elon Musk is gearing up for a legal fight with Apple — and this one isn’t about charging cables or privacy settings.

He claims the App Store’s “Must Have” section skips over both X and his Grok chatbot, even though Grok ranks sixth among free iPhone apps in the US. ChatGPT? Sitting comfortably at #1.

For Musk, this isn’t just a snub — he calls it an antitrust violation. Apple says their charts and curated lists are based on objective criteria. But so far, Musk hasn’t shown evidence, and no official lawsuit has been filed.

It’s not Musk’s first clash with Apple or OpenAI, but this one could spark a much bigger conversation: Who really controls visibility in the AI app market — and what does that mean for competition?

If this story matters to you, keep watching. The next update could shift how AI apps reach your screen.
