X's Community Notes system responded to Musk's claims about Apple handing over data to OpenAI by providing corrections to his posts. Users, citing Apple's own introduction to the Apple Intelligence models, said Musk's claim that Apple will hand data over to OpenAI is misleading, as Apple has developed its own AI systems that will run on-device or locally and will use private cloud computing or OpenAI for tasks requiring additional computational power. Another community note stated that Musk's comment "misrepresents what was actually announced," as "Apple Intelligence is Apple’s own creation" and access to ChatGPT "is entirely separate, and controlled by the user."
What actions did Musk threaten to take against Apple devices at his companies in response to Apple's AI integration plans?
Elon Musk threatened to ban Apple devices from all his companies' premises over Apple's plans to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into its devices3. He expressed security concerns and accused Apple of partnering with OpenAI due to their lack of capability to create their own AI. Musk's statement came after Apple unveiled its AI roadmap, "Apple Intelligence," at the WWDC 2024 event.
How did Elon Musk describe Apple's capability in developing their own artificial intelligence technologies?

He claimed that Apple "isn't smart enough to make their own AI" and questioned the company's ability to ensure OpenAI protected the security and privacy of its devices. Musk also criticized Apple's assurances of protecting user privacy, suggesting that the tech giant had no control over the data once it was handed over to OpenAI.
