Musk has hinted at the launch of the X smartphone (Grok Phone), an alternative to Apple devices with OpenAI spyware

After the statements about banning Apple devices in their companies in case of "deep integration" with ChatGPT, Musk also thought about creating his own alternative to the iPhone.

One of the Twitter users suggested the idea of the X phone (or Grok Phone), and Musk replied that it is "quite possible," considering that Apple devices will receive "spyware from OpenAI." In another note, the billionaire added an image of his potential "secure" smartphone and asked readers who would like to purchase it:

Who wants an 𝕏 phone?

In the following comments, Musk hinted that a partnership with Samsung for the production of the potential X smartphone is not excluded. Given that the billionaire sometimes realizes his most bizarre statements from Twitter — the launch could be quite real.

Elon Musk has a long history of relationship with OpenAI — he was a co-founder of the startup but left due to a conflict (it was reported that the billionaire wanted to merge the startup with Tesla and lead the joint venture, which other leaders disagreed with). The public conflict arose when OpenAI received billion-dollar investments from Microsoft — Musk stated that the company abandoned its initial goal of developing AI for the benefit of humanity and instead focused on making money. He later sued OpenAI, but it recently became known that he withdrew the lawsuit.
