Elon Musk, Sam Altman clash over AI infrastructure project

Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are in a public clash over the Stargate AI infrastructure project, which involves a partnership led by Donald Trump, OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank.

Trump recently promoted the project, highlighting the US$500 billion investment plan, with US$100 billion already committed.

Musk responded by questioning the validity of the investment, claiming SoftBank has far less secured capital.
