Judge demands details on Musk's Apple antitrust dismissal in OpenAI case

A federal judge is demanding Elon Musk’s companies disclose any agreement that led them to drop antitrust claims against Apple in a lawsuit involving OpenAI. Judge Mark Pittman issued the order following an emergency motion from OpenAI. X and SpaceXAI moved earlier this week to voluntarily dismiss their claims against Apple, stating they had "resolved" those claims without providing details. The original lawsuit alleged Apple and OpenAI colluded to limit competing AI apps on the App Store through the ChatGPT-Siri integration, which both companies denied. Judge Pittman has ordered X and SpaceXAI to produce any related agreements and respond to OpenAI’s motion by noon on September 17. The case against OpenAI remains active, and the judge’s scrutiny suggests potential concerns over the terms of the private resolution.
