Elon Musk has expressed skepticism about President Donald Trump's US$100 billion AI initiative, dubbed Stargate, questioning its financial backing. Despite Trump's claims of a joint venture with OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle to develop AI infrastructure, Musk stated on X that SoftBank has secured less than US$10 billion. Musk's comments mark a rare public dissent from the administration he advises, while OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, refuted Musk's assertions.
