Elon Musk threatens to sue Apple over app store ranking of his AI app
Elon Musk said his artificial intelligence start up xAI will sue Apple for allegedly favoring AI competitors in its App Store in what he called a breach of antitrust regulations. In a series of posts on X on Monday, a social media platform he owns, he accused Apple of only allowing xAI rival OpenAI's ChatGPT to claim the top spot in its rankings for mobile applications, and said his AI company would take 'immediate legal action.' 'Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation,' he wrote. Grok, xAI's AI model, currently ranks 6th in the App Store's 'Top Free Apps' section for iPhones in the United States, while ChatGPT tops the list. 'Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either X or Grok in your 'Must Have' section when X is the #1 news app in the world…Are you playing politics? What gives?' he wrote in a pinned post. CNN has reached out to xAI, Apple and OpenAI for comment. 'Apple's App Store curation appears biased, favoring established AI like ChatGPT (overall) over innovative challengers,' Grok wrote in a post on X, which was reposted by Musk. 'Editorial picks may reflect caution toward xAI's unfiltered style, but this stifles competition. Truth matters more than politics,' it wrote. Neither Grok nor Musk provided evidence to their claims. Grok by xAI, ChatGPT and Deepseek app icons seen in an iPhone screen. David Talukdar/Shutterstock In June 2024, Apple partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT services into its devices. In response, Musk threatened to ban Apple devices at his companies, including X, Tesla and SpaceX. It was unclear if he ultimately followed through. This is not the first time Apple's App Store operations has faced legal challenges. In April, a federal judge in California ruled the iPhone maker had violated a court order to reform its App Store for greater competition in app downloads and payment methods. The order stemmed from a high-profile antitrust suit in 2021 filed by the maker of the hit video game Fortnite, Epic Games, over Apple's monopoly on the distribution of IOS apps. The court then found Apple violated a California competition law and ordered the company to allow developers more freedom to direct users to alternative payment options. In a separate case in April, the European Commission fined Apple €500million ($570 million) for breaching a digital competition law by restricting app developers from steering users toward cheaper options outside the App Store. Last month, Apple appealed the fine to an European court.

Photos: Why did Mohamed Ramadan meet with Lara Trump in New York?
A photo of Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan with Lara Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump's son, has gone viral on social media. While Ramadan expressed his pleasure at being invited by Lara Trump to visit, a number of celebrities circulated photos revealing a completely different side to the story. Despite he'd written in his post, the meeting was not at the Trump family home, according to a Facebook post by a member of the National Press Club's Committee on Press Freedom, Ahmed Omar. Instead, it took place at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, a luxury resort owned by Trump in New Jersey, which is known for hosting major political and social events – not as a family residence. According to a post from American actor and host of the official launch party, Christopher Maccio, the reason for the meeting between Lara Trump and Mohamed Ramadan was a concert launched by his charitable foundation. The event was a fundraiser for the 'Make Music Right' initiative, and Lara Trump was the main guest. Earlier, Ramadan had posted photos with Lara Trump on his official Instagram account, commenting on the event: 'Happy to be invited by Mrs. Lara Trump and for her appreciation of my African continent. This is also an appreciation for Arab-African music.' 'Something great is coming, God willing,' he added. The Egyptian artist's photos sparked a wave of speculation among social media users regarding the big surprise Mohamed Ramadan asked his followers to prepare for. Maccio meanwhile tweeted on August 6 that on August 8, the charitable foundation would host prominent stars, including Lara Trump and American YouTuber Chad Brother. The event was held to 'restore sound values toward a new golden age of music and culture in America.' The 'Make Music Right' foundation aims to promote a musical culture in America that enriches and strengthens society. It also seeks to build a movement to educate Americans about the role of music in shaping perspectives and to foster a musical culture that supports traditional values. According to the official announcement, the prices to participate in the initiative were: Standard Attendance Ticket : $1,000 : $1,000 VIP Ticket: $2,500 $2,500 VIP Photo Opportunity: $3,500 The event also offered sponsorships for organizations and companies starting at $10,000 for the silver tier and $25,000 for the next tier. Who is Lara Trump? Lara Lea Yunaska Trump, born in 1982, is a former American media personality and has been married to Eric Trump since 2014. Lara played a prominent role in Trump's 2016 and 2020 election campaigns. In 2024, she became the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). She is seen as one of the most visible female figures in Trump's inner circle and uses her media presence to support the conservative agenda in the US. The official goal of the event The meeting took place during a promotional event for the 'Make Music Right Again' movement, an initiative launched by Lara Trump as a clear nod to Trump's famous campaign slogan, 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA). The movement aims to integrate music into conservative political discourse and present artistic works that reflect traditional American identity and values. Lara has recently released several songs, such as 'Anything Is Possible' and 'Hero,' but she has faced widespread criticism regarding her artistic abilities. Critics have viewed the project as an attempt to politicize music and make it part of the 'culture war' being waged by America's political right.

Remains of Antarctic Researcher Dennis ‘Tink' Bell Found After 66 Years
Rana Atef The remains of British meteorologist Dennis 'Tink' Bell have been found in Antarctica, 66 years after he vanished in a crevasse accident. A Polish research team discovered the bones and personal items such as radio equipment, a wristwatch, and a pipe stem in rocks exposed by the retreating Ecology Glacier on King George Island. DNA testing by King's College London confirmed the identity, matching samples from Bell's surviving siblings. Bell, who was 25 years old at the time, was working for the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, which is now the British Antarctic Survey, when he fell through hidden ice while leading a dog sled team on 26 July 1959. A rescue attempt failed when his belt snapped as he was being hauled up. His body was never recovered until now. The remains were transported via the BAS ship Sir David Attenborough to the Falkland Islands, then flown to the UK. His family, 'shocked and amazed' by the discovery, say the find has brought long-awaited closure. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
