The AI battle just got personal. Tesla CEO and xAI founder Elon Musk has accused Apple of manipulating App Store rankings to keep OpenAI permanently at the top — calling it an “unequivocal antitrust violation.” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman fired back, accusing Musk of hypocrisy and alleging he manipulates X’s algorithm to benefit his own companies.
