Musk Drops Apple Lawsuit Over ChatGPT Siri Deal, Keeps Suing OpenAI

Elon Musk’s companies X Corp and SpaceXAI today asked the court to dismiss their claims in a lawsuit filed against Apple in 2025, reports Reuters. There was no explanation for the dismissal request or mention of a settlement. The filing also does not ask for the dismissal of claims against OpenAI.

Plaintiffs have resolved their claims in this Action against Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”).
Plaintiffs accordingly move under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) to dismiss with prejudice their claims against Apple. Apple does not oppose this Motion.
For the avoidance of doubt, Plaintiffs do not seek to dismiss any of their claims against Defendants OpenAI Foundation (f/k/a OpenAI, Inc.); OpenAI, L.L.C.; and OpenAI OpCo, LLC.

A dismissal with prejudice will prevent the claims from being refiled in the future.

The lawsuit accused Apple and OpenAI of conspiring to “ensure their continued dominance” in the AI market. The lawsuit suggested Apple was “blindsided by major innovations in AI,” leading it to team up with OpenAI in a “desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly.”

Musk’s companies complained that Grok did not have the same level of iOS integration as ChatGPT did through Siri, and accused Apple of deprioritizing the apps of competing generative AI chatbots and X in the App Store. The lawsuit asked for billions in damages for Apple’s alleged stifling of AI industry innovation.

Apple said it was “widely known that intends to partner with other generative AI chatbots” in the future, and said the claims were based on “speculation on top of speculation.” Apple asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit back in October, but the request was denied.
