Elon Musk vs Sam Altman over Trump-backed $500 bn Stargate AI project

Billionaire Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman engaged in an online feud over Stargate, a $500 billion artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project announced by US President Donald Trump.

The initiative, which Trump described as “a resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential”, will be funded through a collaboration between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank. It is set to kick off with an initial $100 billion private investment led by Masayoshi Son, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, and Altman.
