Musk dropped Apple from the Texas AI suit and left OpenAI in

A Monday filing, reported by Ars Technica, says Elon Musk resolved every claim against Apple in the antitrust case over ChatGPT's place in Siri and Apple Intelligence, and agreed not to raise those claims against Apple again. The same claims remain against OpenAI. 9to5Mac records X and SpaceXAI's motion to dismiss Apple while the case stays in discovery. Neither report publishes settlement terms.

Apple is out, OpenAI stays

Ars Technica reported on 14 September that a Monday filing from Musk said he had resolved all claims against Apple and agreed not to raise them against Apple again. He did not drop the same claims against OpenAI. The filing does not set out settlement terms or a reason. The suit alleges that Apple's ChatGPT integration locked up the chatbot market; Apple has stressed that the partnership was never exclusive.[1]

The motion lands in discovery

9to5Mac reported that X and SpaceXAI filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss their claims against Apple in the lawsuit brought against Apple and OpenAI. Musk had accused Apple and OpenAI over rival AI apps' App Store visibility and ChatGPT's tie-in to Siri and Apple Intelligence. Both companies disputed the claims. The case had moved into discovery; the motion leaves OpenAI in the case.[2]

The terms stay closed

Both publishers describe the same Texas move: Apple is dropped, OpenAI remains, and no settlement text is published. Ars Technica records the court-language promise not to raise the claims again; 9to5Mac supplies the consumer-tech motion and the discovery setting. Ars notes a summer order that Apple turn over internal documents; 9to5Mac does not repeat that order.[1], [2]
