Elon Musk questioned the funding for a $500 billion AI infrastructure project, Stargate, backed by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank. Musk claimed on X that OpenAI and SoftBank don't have the money to support the $500 billion Stargate AI project. His comments followed the project’s announcement by Donald Trump on his first day in office, which features massive data centers in Texas. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed Musk’s claims, calling them inaccurate and emphasizing Stargate’s potential to enhance American innovation. He urged Musk to prioritize the country’s interests in his new role in Trump's administration.
