Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has made headlines with his recent threat to ban Apple devices at his companies following Apple’s partnership with OpenAI. Musk took to social media to express his concerns over the integration of OpenAI’s technology into Apple’s operating systems, calling it an ‘unacceptable security violation.’ He even went as far as stating that visitors to his businesses, including Tesla, SpaceX, and X, will be required to check their Apple devices at the door and store them in a Faraday cage.

This move by Musk comes amidst a legal dispute between him and OpenAI, where he has accused the AI company of prioritizing profits over benefiting humanity. Despite Apple’s assurance that users’ personal data will remain private with the integration of AI into their systems, Musk remains skeptical. He questioned Apple’s ability to guarantee the security and privacy of users’ data once it is handed over to OpenAI.

While Apple emphasized its commitment to protecting user data and ensuring privacy, Musk’s concerns highlight the ongoing debate surrounding the use of AI technology and data security. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but later stepped down from its board, is now focused on building a rival AI company.
