Elon Musk is not happy with Apple Google partnership on Gemini; says: This is unreasonable as Google already has …

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has slammed Apple and Google’s new AI collaboration, calling it an “unreasonable concentration of power” for Google. Musk, whose xAI company competes with Google’s Gemini, voiced concerns that this deal could stifle rivals. While markets cheered the partnership, with Alphabet briefly surpassing Apple in valuation, Musk’s objections hint at potential future challenges.

Elon Musk fired a warning shot at Apple and Google hours after the tech giants announced their blockbuster AI partnership. The billionaire CEO called the collaboration an “unreasonable concentration of power” for Google, citing the company’s grip on Android and Chrome as reason for concern.“This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome,” Musk wrote on X, responding directly to the joint announcement that Google’s Gemini AI will power Apple’s next-generation Siri and other Apple Intelligence features.

Musk’s Business interest in opposing the deal

The criticism carries extra weight coming from Musk, whose xAI company develops Grok—a direct competitor to Google’s Gemini. He’s already locked in legal battles with Apple and OpenAI over their ChatGPT integration, accusing them of blocking rival AI services from succeeding on the App Store. That lawsuit survived dismissal attempts and is moving forward.Some are interpreting Musk’s comments as a preview of potential legal action against the Apple-Google deal, similar to his ongoing case. Others saw it as positioning for xAI to launch competing products, possibly even a phone—an idea Musk has floated before when frustrated with Apple’s AI partnerships.

Google celebrates as Musk complains

While Musk voiced antitrust concerns, markets celebrated the announcement. Google’s parent company Alphabet briefly touched a $4 trillion valuation Monday, surpassing Apple to become the world’s second-most valuable company. The multi-year partnership means Google’s Gemini models will run on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute infrastructure while powering a revamped Siri expected to launch this spring.Apple praised Google’s technology after its evaluation process, stating Gemini provides “the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models.” Neither Apple nor Google responded to Musk’s criticism, and it’s unlikely they’ll publicly address his concerns about market concentration. For now, Musk’s objections appear more like competitive frustration than regulatory threat.
