U.S. federal judge Mark Pittman has ordered Elon Musk's X and SpaceX AI to submit any settlement agreements they have reached with Apple to the court, which involves the two companies' previous antitrust lawsuits against Apple and OpenAI.

Earlier this week, X and SpaceX AI filed a motion requesting voluntary dismissal of their claims against Apple without the possibility of re-filing, while retaining their related claims against OpenAI. The two companies had previously accused Apple and OpenAI of colluding to limit competing AI apps through the App Store ranking and visibility mechanisms, due to Apple's collaboration with ChatGPT integrated into Siri and Apple Intelligence. Apple and OpenAI both denied the allegations.

In their filing, X and SpaceX AI merely stated that the claims against Apple had been "resolved," but did not disclose the specific terms of the agreement. OpenAI then filed an emergency motion asking the two companies to disclose the solution they reached with Apple. Judge Pittman accordingly requested X and SpaceX AI to provide "any agreement or set of agreements reached with Apple regarding the resolution of the plaintiff's claims," and asked the two companies to respond to OpenAI's motion by noon on September 17.

At present, the specific terms of the agreement and whether Apple made any substantive commitments remain undisclosed.
