Elon Musk Reacts to Apple and Google Teaming on GeminiPowered Siri
Jan 12, 2026
Elon Musk today expressed concern about Apple and Google partnering on a more personalized version of Siri powered by Google's generative AI platform Gemini.
"This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that [they] also have Android and Chrome," wrote Musk, in a pos
t on X.
Musk serves as CEO of xAI, the company behind Gemini competitor Grok.
It is unlikely that Apple or Google will publicly respond to Musk's comment, but we will update this story if the companies have anything to say.
In case you missed it, Apple and Google today jointly announced that Gemini will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized version of Siri that is set to launch this year. Apple has yet to announce exactly when the revamped Siri will launch, but it is reportedly set to arrive as part of iOS 26.4 in March or April.
xAI filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI last year, accusing the two companies of conspiring to "ensure their continued dominance" in the AI market.
