A new antitrust lawsuit targets Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI and Google, with plaintiffs alleging the AI companies agreed among themselves to slow the pace of AI development. The suit claims the plan had been in motion for months, and argues the so-called agreement was self-serving rather than a genuine safety measure. The case raises fresh questions about whether coordinated pauses by leading AI firms violate competition law.

Elon Musk claims SpaceX could achieve AI matching GPT-6 within three months and take 'pole position' in artificial intelligence within six, under a SpaceXAI effort planning a massive expansion of GPU computing capacity. The comments signal Musk's intent to fold advanced AI development into SpaceX alongside its launch business, intensifying competition with OpenAI, Google and other leading AI labs.

Elon Musk's X Corp and xAI have withdrawn Apple as a defendant in their antitrust lawsuit over alleged collusion in the AI market. The move removes one legal pressure point for the iPhone maker, though questions remain about whether the broader claims against other defendants continue. Observers are debating what the withdrawal signals about the strength of the case and Apple's legal exposure going forward.
