Elon Musk's Threat to Ban Apple Devices Over ChatGPT Integration

Ever since the Apple Event, everyone has been talking about the collaboration between Apple and OpenAI. Many welcome this idea with excitement, while others worry about its implications.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X, has threatened to ban Apple devices from being used at his companies, including SpaceX and X, if Apple integrates OpenAI's ChatGPT into its operating systems. Musk believes this would constitute an "unacceptable security violation" and that Apple has no idea what's happening with user data once it's handed over to OpenAI.

This comes after Apple announced a new partnership with OpenAI to bring generative AI tools, including ChatGPT, to Apple products through an "Apple Intelligence" system. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but is now running a rival firm called xAI, has a contentious relationship with his former company and its CEO Sam Altman.
