Elon Musk takes aim at Sam Altman

Earlier Thursday, Elon Musk clashed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires that started on OpenAI’s board and is now testing Musk’s influence with the new president. .

On Tuesday, Trump had talked about a joint venture investing up to $500 billion through a new partnership formed by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, along with Oracle and SoftBank.

The new entity, Stargate, is already beginning to build data centers and the power generation necessary for the further development of rapidly evolving AI technology.

Trump declared it “a resounding statement of confidence in America’s potential” under his new administration, with an initial private investment of $100 billion that could reach five times that amount.

But Musk, a close Trump adviser who helped launch his campaign and now heads a government cost-cutting initiative, questioned the value of the investment hours later.

“They don’t actually have the money,” Musk wrote on his social platform X. “SoftBank has secured well under $10 billion. I have that on good authority.”
