Elon Musk Threatens To Ban Apple Products From His Businesses

Musk says Apple's partnership to integrate OpenAI's artificial intelligence into its operating system "is an unacceptable security violation."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has threatened to ban Apple products from his businesses.

Musk took to his social media platform ‘X’ to say Apple’s partnership to integrate OpenAI’s artificial intelligence into its operating system “is an unacceptable security violation.” He added that employees and visitors will be banned from bringing Apple devices into the company’s he owns.

Musk’s threat to ban Apple devices at his workplaces, which employ over 100,000 workers, comes after a legal battle between the Tesla CEO and OpenAI.

In March, Musk sued the AI company alleging that it had violated its original mission statement by putting profits over benefiting humanity. However, Musk dropped the lawsuit Wednesday.

Though Apple said it is taking privacy stepping into the new era very seriously, Musk is skeptical, claiming Apple has no clue what’s actually going on.
