Dominari Securities CEO Kyle Uhl weighs in on AI stocks and other market news on “The Word on Wall Street.”
Elon Musk warned on Monday that he would ban companies from using tech giant Apple’s devices if the company integrated OpenAI at the operating system level.
In an article for X, Tesla’s CEO called the prospect an “unacceptable security breach.”
Musk said that if the ban were implemented, visitors would have to leave their Apple devices “at the door” and they would be “stored in a Faraday cage.”
The comments come after Apple announced that it would be incorporating a host of AI features into its apps and operating platform, and partnering with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT technology to its devices.

Apple said it is building its AI with privacy “at its core,” and that these features will be powered by a combination of on-device processing and cloud computing.
“It’s patently absurd that Apple can guarantee that OpenAI will protect the security and privacy of its users when it’s not smart enough to develop its own AI,” Musk said.

A community note under the tweet stated that Apple is developing its own AI called “Apple Intelligence” and that ChatGPT is “an additional feature within Apple Intelligence, exclusive to Siri and Writing Tools, and requires user permission each time it is used.”

Earlier in March, Musk sued OpenAI, the company he co-founded in 2015, and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that the startup had abandoned its original mission of developing AI for the benefit of humanity, rather than for profit.
He also founded his own startup, xAI, to challenge OpenAI and build an alternative to the popular chatbot ChatGPT.
xAI was valued at $24 billion in its last funding round and has raised $6 billion in Series B funding.
