Elon Musk made a bold accusation against Apple on Monday … suggesting his X app is being snubbed in the mobile store — and perhaps it’s political!

Responding to a post from the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley official account that boasted X was the “No. 1 news app in the USA” … Musk asked Apple — which he tagged — why the company is allegedly “refusing” to list X or his A.I. program Grok in its “Must Have” store section.

Suggesting politics was at play over the snub, Musk reiterated X was the “#1 news app in the world and Grok is #5 among all apps” — and he added, “What gives? Inquiring minds want to know.”

This particular accusation is new … but Elon has had a bone to pick with Apple and Tim Cook for years … even chastising the technology company for its treatment of the app formally known as Twitter not long after he bought it in 2022.
