Jun 10, 2024, 08:53 PM

Elon Musk has threatened to ban Apple devices from his companies if Apple integrates OpenAI's software at the operating system level. Musk called the integration an 'unacceptable security violation' and criticized Apple for not being able to develop its own AI. He suggested that Apple does not understand what happens to user data once it is handed over to OpenAI and accused the company of compromising user security. Additionally, Musk hinted at the possibility of developing a Grok phone with Grok AI integration to counter Apple's move. Visitors to Musk's companies would have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they would be stored in a Faraday cage. Musk also referred to OpenAI's software as 'woke nanny AI spyware'.
