The xAI lawsuit claims that Grok's ranking below ChatGPT is a sign of allegedly monopolistic behavior.

“This is a tale of two monopolists joining forces to ensure their continued dominance in a world rapidly driven by the most powerful technology humanity has ever created: artificial intelligence,” the lawsuit alleges. “Working in tandem, Defendants Apple and OpenAI have locked up markets to maintain their monopolies and prevent innovators like X and xAI from competing.” Grok is currently ranked third in the App Store for free productivity apps—behind only ChatGPT and Gmail.

“These effects on the market—less competition, less scale necessary to compete, less investment, and less innovation—ultimately harm consumers through lower quality, less choice, and higher prices than would exist in the but-for world without Defendants’ anticompetitive conduct,” the lawsuit reads. Musk was a founding member of the OpenAI team before he left in 2018, eventually founding a rival AI firm in the form of xAI.
