Elon Musk is not happy about a new partnership between Apple and ChatGPT creator OpenAI. In a post to X Monday, the Tesla (TSLA) chief executive said he would ban Apple (AAPL) devices at his companies — which include SpaceX and X, among others — if the iPhone maker went ahead with its AI plans announced Monday. If Apple “integrates OpenAI at the (operating system) level,” Musk said that would constitute “an unacceptable security violation.” He added that visitors “will have to check their Apple devices at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage,” referring to an enclosure that blocks electromagnetic waves crucial to communications, including cellular, wireless internet and Bluetooth signals. “Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI,” Musk said in a separate post. “They’re selling you down the river.” CNN has contacted Apple and OpenAI for comment.
