Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, particularly following Musk's public criticism of Trump's ambitious $500 billion AI project, known as Stargate. Trump's aides are reportedly furious at Musk for undermining the project shortly after its announcement. Musk's exclusion from the project and rivalry with OpenAI's Sam Altman seem to have fueled his backlash, where he accused the project's backers of lacking sufficient funding. This discord illustrates the cracks in their previously cooperative relationship, raising questions about Musk's influence and role around Trump.
"It's clear he has abused the proximity to the president. The problem is the president doesn't have any leverage over him and Elon gives zero fucks."
"They don't actually have the money," Musk accused the project's backers of in a tweet replying to OpenAI's announcement. "SoftBank has well under $10B secured," he added. "I have that on good authority."
