Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, took a playful yet pointed jab at Apple recently by sharing a popular Indian meme on social media. This move comes in the midst of Apple’s announcement of its collaboration with OpenAI during its Worldwide Developer Conference 2024.

Apple revealed its plans to integrate OpenAI’s ChatGPT into its iOS, iPadOS, and macOS platforms through the upcoming iOS 18 software update. This integration aims to provide users with seamless access to ChatGPT’s capabilities directly within Apple’s operating systems, eliminating the need to switch between different tools.

However, Elon Musk expressed skepticism about this partnership, stating that he would prohibit Apple devices within his companies if Apple proceeds with integrating OpenAI into its operating systems. Musk’s stance reflects concerns about potential privacy issues that could arise from data sharing between Apple and OpenAI.

In a playful dig at Apple, Musk shared a widely circulated Indian meme on his platform X (formerly known as Twitter). The meme, originating from the 2017 Tamil movie ‘Thappattam,’ humorously depicts a scenario where Apple shares data with OpenAI, highlighting the concept of intelligence in a humorous manner.

The meme quickly gained traction online, garnering over 39.7 million views and three lakh likes within hours of Musk’s post. Users appreciated Musk’s nod to Indian culture through the meme and shared their thoughts on the potential implications of the Apple-OpenAI collaboration.

While some users found the meme amusing and on point, others expressed concerns about data privacy and security in light of the integration. Apple, however, clarified that its AI features are designed with privacy as a core principle, incorporating on-device processing and cloud computing while ensuring user data protection.

Elon Musk’s playful yet critical stance reflects ongoing debates surrounding data privacy and AI integration in tech partnerships. As the tech industry navigates complex issues of innovation and security, discussions sparked by figures like Musk continue to shape the trajectory of technology development and privacy standards.
