ELON Musk’s Gangster technology for technology comes for Apple

Elon Musk calls for another return for his investments in American politics: It threatens Apple with a lawsuit Because X or Xai’s Grok has not been recommended at the iOS app. How dangerous is this threat-it is difficult to say, as it was published between the waifus that was created by Grok.

“Hello Apple App Store, why do you refuse to place either X or Grok in the” You should be “when X is the 1st news application in the world and GROK is the number 5 between all applications?” raucousIn a briefly installed post on his profile.

Musk, Xai CEO and one of the most winners of God, does not satisfy the quality of his applications in the store. He also wants to support apples. If you are not aware of the application store, first and foremost, congratulations. But secondly, there are parts of it with editorial sponsorship, with the store recommended specific applications as “basic”, as well as “choosing the editors”. Musk applications still appear on the plans – they are not strengthened by Apple itself on the first page of the iOS app.

Apple, to some extent, damage to the burden in Continuous beef with Openai. “Apple behaves in a way that makes it impossible for any AI besides OpenAI to reach the first rank in the application store, which is an unambiguous violation to combat monopoly,” Musk said in another post.

Now it caught the attention of “violation of the fight against monopoly” here. Apple has some important actions to combat monopoly around its application store, Some of them Give I witnessed directly. In addition to the case brought by an epic Fortnite – The United States Supreme Court refused to weighAnd Fortnite Mostly he lost, but he returned to the US app store – The Ministry of Justice has It brought a monopoly fighting procedure on the iPhone lock.

It is also not the first time that Musk has used “anti -monopoly” as an excuse to link the enemy imagined in the court system. like Part of Openai beef mentioned aboveand He claimed musk Openai and Microsoft tried to “monopolize the intrigue intelligence market” using exclusive agreements with investors when raising capital, and refused to allow Xai Openai technology due to the Microsoft Fervivity Agreement and “Lock (ing) MALEN”.

This is a very rude gang behavior – Gang technology organizationTo be more accurate. Certainly, Musk and Trump are not as soon as it was, but Musk did not pay all this money to elect Trump nothing. If Musk filed a lawsuit, and he did so in a friendly court – perhaps Tesla Red O’Connor shareholderThe judge in the northern province of Texas – legal pressure may lead to some privileges. It looks like this I would hardly blackmail convincingly Between the right wing.

In response to Musk’s provocation, Apple said that the application store “was designed to be fair and free from bias … We show thousands of applications through plans, algorithm recommendations and coordinated lists chosen by experts using objective standards”, a spokes of Apple, who has not been called, Bloomberg.

This is clear, but not the way you claim musk.

We just visit Musk applications, which I think currently violates Apple rules. Take your Groke, for example. Apple recently Remove three applications This made deep nakedness, most likely because they created non -expanded images. Grok, put in a “hot” position, will Create Taylor Swift naked picturesEven if he is not demanded directly to do so. (Google’s Veo and Openai’s Sora has some protection to prevent this type of things; how much they are a separate issue.)

There is also the issue of X, the artist previously known as Twitter. Since the acquisition of Musk, it has faced a variety of moderate problems, including but not limited to: Sexual assault on children ((Yes, still), Videos torture of graphics animalsAnd Hate speech. (This is nothing Personal publishing anti -Semitic to musk))

It seems that both applications are flying in the face of the applications of the application store, which says that “applications should not include offensive content, non -sensitive, annoying, aimed at disgusting, in an exceptionally weak taste, or just an ordinary creeping.” Examples include “public or pornographic materials”; “Realistic pictures of people or animals that are killed, distorted, tortured, or exposed to abuse.” And “advertising, discriminatory, or medium content, including references or commenting about religion, race, sexual tunnels, sex, national/ethnic origin or other targeted groups, especially if it is likely that the application is likely to be humiliated or hurt or harms the target individual.”

Any social media site that depends on the content that was created by the user will have some problems that adhere to these instructions, which is why many of them-or I assume that I should say, I am considered strong. It can be said that Twitter was violating the applications of the application store before Buy Musk, The CEO of Tumblr Matt Mullenweg also observed. (Tumblr, of course, he had Moderation problems with her In an attempt to comply with Apple practices.)

When he bought Musk Twitter, moderation came out of the window. It also created a problem with wrong information Especially evident when it comes to the Israeli war in GazaAnd it can be said that it violates other rules from Apple that prohibit “harmful concepts that benefit or seek to benefit from modern or ongoing events, such as violent conflicts.”

Grok does not even have an excuse of moderation or content created by the user; It makes the content a single violation.

Despite all these flagrant violations of the application store policies, Apple has not removed GROK or X from the store. In fact, that Resuming ads on x In February, after Withdrawal ads for a year in response to Musk sites.

So, while Musk has a point that Apple is fairly preferred some applications, It is its own applications that benefit. Apple is in fact only in a difficult place because the musk throws an anger. After all, it is not clear that there is a direct argument to combat monopoly here. Anti -monopoly laws Generally targeting Market power From a company Those that suppress the competition. So in practice, if Apple prefers its own applications in the application store editing sections, this may be a violation of anti -monopoly. Anti -competition agreements – such as Preference to buying Google in Safari search To prevent Apple from making its search engine – it will also be a fair game. There is no evidence of such an agreement with Openai, although the two companies You have a partnership. In fact, given the GROK feature of celebrities, it seems certainly that Apple promotes the artificial intelligence application no Make a handful of bare Taylors Swift.

But if there is one thing that loves Musk to do, it connects people to endless claims. The musk suit is unlikely noisy, Like a person he presented against the mediaApple will threaten as a constant source of concern. However, it can lead to embarrassing acceptance within the court, and to serve as a headache and distraction, and otherwise it is a source of inconvenience in general. If Musk still has any impact on the Ministry of Justice, its hostility may make the Ministry of Justice more aggressive in following up the unrelated monopoly issue. In comparison, giving Grok may not seem little visibility in the application store … except that it tells Musk what will make Apple crack.

Perhaps this will be a lesson for Apple and our stay: Once you show that you are ready to pay a bribe, do not give up. It may be smarter for Apple to continue to refuse to announce X. It is too late – Musk wants more, and it is believed that the Apple will give it. If this is not our new age of gang technology, I do not know what it is.
