Episode Synopsis

Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of conspiring to lock up the AI market and unfairly sidelining competitors like Grok on the App Store. Meanwhile in Texas, SpaceX was forced to scrub the tenth test flight of its Super Heavy–Starship rocket for the second day in a row—first due to a system leak, then because of dangerous weather near the pad. Miles Vega unpacks the lawsuit’s implications for the AI industry, SpaceX’s latest hurdles, and what both stories reveal about Musk’s high-stakes battles in tech and space in today’s The Elon Effect.
