Can't they all just go back to focusing on rockets and Mars colonies and such? Would be nice if they fucked off into space and left the rest of us to do not-so-stupid shit...

Yeah, so Musk's argument is that even though OpenAI's product ChatGPT has more downloads, Apple should consider letting X's Grok take the top spot because... reasons, I guess? Grok is still listed despite its antisemitic and other disgusting actions. It might be #2 (yeah it's definitely shit, right?), it might be #5, but it's still on the list, and it's still available. Musk is just mad that Apple is not featuring it.

Meanwhile, Fortnite is the top downloaded free iOS game. It sits on top of the charts. Thusly, Apple has buried the chart and they refuse to feature Fortnite, instead choosing to feature Roblox and PUBG instead. It's petty and silly, but the rankings do show which one has more downloads. That's it. It's not even about quality or anything.

I tend to agree with Epic (Fortnite) over Apple, but in regards to X, I'm with Apple. I may be slightly biased in that I don't like Musk/X, but I'm with Apple strictly on the merits here. I don't need biases to influence my reasoning here.
