Elon Musk, the billionaire tech CEO turned government adviser for President Donald Trump, openly questioned a new artificial intelligence initiative hours after the president announced it.

Musk claimed on Tuesday that the new AI initiative, called Stargate, lacks the investment to fulfill its purpose of making a $500 billion investment in construction AI infrastructure in the U. S. U. S. For the next 4 years.

“They don’t have the money,” Musk said in reaction to the announcement in X.

Musk’s rapid reprimand was remarkable given his presence in Trump’s world. Musk has been a vocal taxpayer to the president and has announced his presence in Trump’s possession.

The initiative is a collaboration between Openai, a company on AI, which co -stood up before a fall with Sam Altman, SoftBank and Oracle.

In their announcement, the companies said they would immediately deploy $100 billion toward the initiative. They hope to build data centers across the U.S. – warehouses filled with powerful servers that provide computing power to develop and advance AI.

But a few hours after the announcement, Musk threw bloodless water at him, which had “good authority” that SoftBank “has far less than $10 billion. “

To advance his point, on Wednesday, he took to a tweet mocking the announcement of the $500 billion initiative with a crying emoji.

Musk has one of Trump’s closest advisors in the year beyond the year. The Ministry of Efficiency of the Government was guilty of supervising, the guilty advisory council of reducing federal expenditure and was a component of the Trump transition process.

The division is, that is, catchy since Trump has a long story of selling loyalty between his team. There is almost no member of the Trump’s first administration that brought back for its moment due to past conflicts.

Musk also has a public feud with Altman, his former colleague and the CEO of OpenAI.

The two previously sought to “save humanity” from AI’s risks through OpenAI. A dispute on the control of the struggle of the corporate and internal force led to the fall. Musk despite everything left the company in 2018 and since then has begun its own initiative of AI.

Musk has filed lawsuits against OpenAI and Altman and used his platform on X to mock the company and CEO.

Altman to Musk’s accusation over X and supported the $500 billion idea.

“Wrong, as you surely know,” Altman wrote. “this is great for the country. i realize what is great for the country isn’t always what’s optimal for your companies, but in your new role I hope you’ll mostly put [America] first.”

Altman invited Musk to visit the first data site, which he said was underway. OpenAI has been working on the so-called Stargate for months and has long-saught government financing to support its goal of advancing AI in the U.S.

Altman added: “I respect your achievements and I think you are the maximum inspiring businessman of our time. “
