Investor Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management has said that Tesla CEO Elon Musk won't need to sue Apple amid the Grok app store ranking row.
Taking to social media platform X on Tuesday, Munster said that Musk wouldn't need to sue the Cupertino-based tech giant amid allegations of favoritism towards OpenAI's ChatGPT in the company's App Store. "Give it two weeks to sort out," the investor said.
"While Apple has a right to run their store, I’ve learned the hard way never bet against Elon," Munster said before adding that Apple could feature the Grok app on its "Must-Have Apps" section in the App Store.
"Even though they don’t have to make the accommodation, they likely will to avoid the headache of a lawsuit," he said in the post.
"It's clear iPhone users are loving Grok," Munster said in the post, but added that the Must Haves section has "ChatGPT at #7 out of 21," but Grok isn't featured. However, Munster also added that Apple's commercial deals with OpenAI could play a role.
"Most likely those deals include preferential treatment in the App Store," he said, but conceded that a legal advantage doesn't matter "when locking horns with Musk."
