As the news regarding the head of X (formerly known as Twitter) being against Apple devices due to AI integration and partnership with OpenAI has surfaced, the tech billionaire Elon Musk said that his own X phone is a possibility with Samsung as it is a potential partner which cannot be ruled out. With the decision announced, once again Musk has slammed the integration of ChatGPT in iPhones and other Apple devices.
Reacting to an X user who claimed that “X will partner with Samsung to manufacture an X phone” which will be optimised for the X app, offer an open-source operating system (OS) and a “direct connection to Starlink", Musk said “it is not out of the question”.
Musk also stated earlier that it is “patently absurd” that Apple is not smart enough to make its own AI, “yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security privacy".
“Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO added.
By the time of writing, Apple is yet to comment on Musk’s allegations.

Earlier in the day, Musk also threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies over the integration of ChatGPT into iPhones and other Apple devices.
Apple announced iOS 18 during the WWDC24, stating that the users will be able to ask Siri questions and OpenAI’s ChatGPT will answer.
Musk posted on X that if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, “Apple devices will be banned at my companies”.
“That is an unacceptable security violation,” Musk further added.
