Sept 14 (Reuters) - ​Elon ​Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI (NASDAQ: SPCX) said on Monday they ‌have resolved their lawsuit in federal ⁠court in Texas that had accused ‌Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) of conspiring to unlawfully ‌monopolize markets for smartphones and generative AI chatbots.

In a court filing, X ​and SpaceXAI moved to dismiss the lawsuit they brought against Apple ⁠last year. The filing did not explain the reasons ​for dismissal or say if a settlement had been reached.

The ​lawsuit claimed Apple violated ‌antitrust law by exclusively integrating ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence features ⁠on iPhones and other Apple devices. It alleged Apple had illegally shut ⁠out rivals in its partnership with OpenAI.

X and ​SpaceXAI said they will continue to pursue claims against ChatGPT maker OpenAI, which is ‌also a defendant in the lawsuit.

Musk's companies, Apple and ‌OpenAI did not immediately respond ⁠to requests for ‌comment.
