Musk declares war....

on Apple.

Welcome to SaaS Wire — your backstage pass to the hottest in software and services!

What we’ll cover today:

  • Trump’s surprise U-turn on Intel’s CEO 🤯

  • Musk’s legal cannons aimed at Apple over AI favoritism 📱

  • What SaaS leaders think in tech 🗣️

Donald Trump and Intel’s new boss Lip-Bu Tan just met, days after Trump told him to “resign immediately.” Awkward much?

🚨 Breaking News:
After calling Tan “highly conflicted,” Trump met him to discuss Intel’s U.S. tech plans. This is a big tone shift from last week.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

  • Lip-Bu Tan became Intel CEO in March after tough times in the AI race.

  • Trump first demanded Tan’s resignation over China ties.

  • Now they are talking “constructive plans” for U.S. chip leadership.

  • Intel is cutting costs and slowing factory projects in Europe and Ohio.

  • Nvidia also met Trump, securing a deal to sell chips to China with a 15 percent cut to the U.S.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Trump went from “You’re fired” vibes to “Let’s work together” in less than a week. Politics moves faster than chipmaking.

Elon Musk says Apple is playing favorites with OpenAI, keeping his Grok chatbot from topping the App Store. Drama alert.

🚨 Breaking News:
Musk threatens to sue Apple, accusing it of blocking AI rivals from reaching number one and favoring ChatGPT instead.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

  • Musk claims Apple is unfairly boosting OpenAI’s ChatGPT in rankings.

  • Grok is number five overall but not in Apple’s “Must-Have” list.

  • Apple partners with OpenAI and ChatGPT is now integrated into iPhones and Macs.

  • Musk has long feuded with OpenAI, which he co-founded but later left.

  • OpenAI’s Sam Altman clapped back, accusing Musk of similar self-serving tactics on X.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
This is less about chatbots and more about billionaires throwing punches over who controls the AI spotlight.
