Elon Musk targets Sam Altman
Earlier Thursday, Elon Musk clashed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump. The latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires began on OpenAI’s board of directors and is now testing Mr. Musk’s influence over the new president. .
President Trump on Tuesday was discussing a joint venture that could invest up to $500 billion through a new partnership created by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, with Oracle and SoftBank.
As a new organization, Stargate has already begun construction of the data centers and power generation needed to further develop its rapidly evolving AI technology.
President Trump declared it a “resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential” under the new administration, with initial private investment of $100 billion, which could reach five times that amount.
But Musk, a Trump ally who helped fund his campaign and is now leading the government’s cost-cutting program, questioned the value of the investment hours later.
“They don’t actually have the funds,” Musk wrote on his social platform X. “SoftBank has secured far less than $10 billion in funding. I have it on good authority.”
