Musk's X and SpaceXAI Drop Apple From Antitrust Suit; Judge Demands Deal Details
AAPL sits 41% above its 52-week low of $235.03.
Summary
X Corp. and SpaceXAI have dismissed Apple from their antitrust lawsuit without explanation, prompting a federal judge to order disclosure of any settlement agreements by Sept. 17. The move removes a major legal overhang for Apple, though the terms of any resolution remain undisclosed. OpenAI, still a defendant, argues the agreement could affect its defense. This follows Apple's earlier legal battles with Musk's companies over the ChatGPT partnership. The judge's demand for the deal details adds uncertainty, but the dismissal itself is a positive development for Apple's legal exposure.
