According to Odaily Planet Daily, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman quoted a previous tweet from Musk and said, "I've heard allegations that Elon Musk manipulated X to benefit himself and his company, to the detriment of competitors and those he dislikes. This accusation is shocking. I hope someone will launch a counter-investigation. I, and many others, want to know what exactly happened. But OpenAI will focus on building great products." Altman also retweeted a 2023 media article claiming that Musk pressured the Twitter team to significantly increase the weight of his tweets.

Previously, Musk said that no AI company other than OpenAI would be able to rank first on the App Store, and xAI would take legal action against Apple.
