Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, announced that he would ban Apple devices at his companies if the tech giant integrates OpenAI at the operating system level, labeling it an “unacceptable security violation.” Musk also mentioned that visitors would need to store their Apple devices in a Faraday cage if they wish to enter his companies. This statement came shortly after Apple revealed a partnership with OpenAI to incorporate ChatGPT technology into its devices, emphasizing privacy with a mix of on-device and cloud processing. Musk criticized Apple’s reliance on OpenAI, questioning their capability to ensure security and privacy. Industry expert Ben Bajarin dismissed Musk’s stance, stating that Apple’s secure private cloud is designed to anonymize and firewall user data effectively. Musk’s history with OpenAI is fraught; he co-founded it in 2015 but sued the organization in March 2024, alleging a shift away from its original mission. Musk has since launched his own AI startup, xAI, valued at $24 billion.
