Judge blocks OpenAI from seeing Apple's confidential settlement with Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI

A federal judge denied OpenAI access to the secret settlement between Apple and Elon Musk's X Corp and SpaceXAI. Judge Mark Pittman reviewed the agreement privately and found nothing relevant to the remaining claims against OpenAI. The terms stay sealed, and the case against OpenAI continues.

• Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas reviewed the settlement in private
• On September 14, Musk's companies dismissed their claims against Apple with prejudice
• OpenAI asked the court to force disclosure of the deal's terms but was denied
• X Corp and SpaceXAI sued Apple and OpenAI in 2025 over generative AI markets
