Elon Musk publicly challenged President Trump's A.I. investment announcement, questioning the funding behind a joint venture called Stargate. Trump touted a $100 billion investment from OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, asserting that the U.S. would lead in A.I. However, Musk, serving as an adviser, claimed SoftBank's financial backing is significantly less than required, raising doubts about the venture's viability. Musk's comments mark a critical divergence from Trump's narrative, as he has also been in conflict with OpenAI's leadership, further complicating relationships in the tech landscape.
Mr. Musk expressed doubt about the Stargate venture's financing, stating SoftBank has well under $10B secured despite President Trump's claims of notional $100 billion investments.
With this public dissent, Mr. Musk distances himself from the Trump administration's narrative on the $500 billion initiative, challenging the feasibility and funding assurances made.
