Tesla boss in rare break with Donald Trump over AI initiative, saying ‘they don’t actually have the money’
OpenAI hit back at Elon Musk’s criticism of Stargate, the new $500bn artificial intelligence infrastructure project hailed by Donald Trump as a “resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential under a new president”. In a rare break with Trump, Musk on Tuesday evening poured cold water on the project, writing: “They don’t actually have the money.” He added that he had it “on good authority” that SoftBank had secured less than $10bn.
Their dispute threatens to inject a degree of tension into Musk’s relationship with the new president, who presented the project as an early win in his plans to drive investment in the US through low taxes and deregulation. Trump unveiled Stargate on Tuesday in the White House, flanked by Altman, SoftBank chair Masayoshi Son and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.
