On July 12, after Apple sued OpenAI for stealing trade secrets, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he is not afraid of Apple, but respects them very much. Altman's statement also started with his war of words with his arch-rival Elon Musk. After Apple sued OpenAI, Musk made a final move on X, saying that Ultraman "took fraud to a new level."

Altman then hit back, mocking SpaceX's "big pie" in listing, "Brother, aren't you the one who sells the story of building a space data center in the short term to public market investors?".

Musk is not to be outdone. "We will start launching them next year. If your parole officer approves, maybe you can come and take a look. You first 'stole' an open source artificial intelligence charity, and then 'stole' all of Apple's mobile phone technology! It's really amazing. How are you going to increase your efforts next? This is already difficult to surpass," Musk said.
Regarding the spat between Ultraman and Musk, an X user named "I Like Tesla" said: "Ultraman is not afraid of Musk, but he is afraid of Apple. It can be seen from the series of posts he posted today."

Altman said: "I'm not afraid of Apple, but I respect them very much. They are a top company."
However, the X user then mocked Altman and said, "He respects Apple so much that he poached more than 400 employees from Apple."
