Apple told to dump ChatGPT and go for Elon Musk's Grok, Tesla CEO responds with a 'Down' line

An X (formerly Twitter) user recently suggested that Apple should ‘dump’ OpenAI’s AI chatbot ChatGPT and replace it with Grok 4.1 to ‘fix’ Siri. Elon Musk responded to the post signalling his willingness for xAI-Apple collaboration.

“It’s time for Apple to team up with xAI and actually fix Siri”, X Freeze @XFreeze – followed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk – wrote on X. “Replace that outdated, painfully dumb assistant with Grok 4. Siri deserves to be Superintelligent,” the user further added. While the idea contrasts xAI's ongoing lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI for alleged AI market collusion, Musk replied to the post saying "I’m down" hinting his openness to a possible xAI–Apple collaboration.For those unaware, Grok 4.1 debuted on November 17, 2025. The AI bot leads LMArena benchmarks with 1483 Elo in thinking mode, excelling in empathy (high EQ-Bench scores) and creative tasks while reducing hallucinations, available free on X and grok.com.

US Judge allows Elon Musk’s antitrust case to proceed

Last week, a US judge allowed Elon Musk’s lawsuit against Apple and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI to move forward. The lawsuit accuses both companies of working together to control the markets for smartphones and AI chatbots.

According to Reuters, US District Judge Mark Pittman said that Musk’s companies — the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and the AI startup xAI — can continue with their case for now. He also noted that this decision should not be taken as a view on whether the claims are true. The judge said he will examine the facts and evidence at a later stage.In the lawsuit, Musk’s companies argue that Apple violated antitrust laws by making ChatGPT the exclusive AI model for Apple Intelligence features on the iPhone and other Apple devices. The filing also claims that Apple’s partnership with OpenAI unfairly blocked competing services.The companies further allege that Apple strengthened ChatGPT’s position by promoting it on its “Must-Have Apps” list, while reducing visibility for rival apps in the App Store.
