Billionaire Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are fighting on X about Stargate, the enormous infrastructure project to build data centers for OpenAI across the U.S.

Stargate, announced Tuesday during a press conference at the White House, would funnel as much as $500 billion from investors including SoftBank and Middle East AI fund MGX into data centers to support OpenAI’s AI workloads. Partners in Stargate have initially pledged $100 billion, some of which is being put toward a data center under construction in Abilene, Texas.

Elon Musk claims that Stargate doesn’t have the money it says it does.

“They don’t actually have the money,” Musk wrote in a series of posts on X on Tuesday. “SoftBank has well under $10 billion secured. I have that on good authority.”

Hours later, in a reply to a post criticizing Altman, Musk said, “Sam is a swindler.”

GOOD NEWS. Altman hijacked Open Ai and made it closed and evil. He wanted to set up a surveilance state and use AI and your genetic markers to design individual mRNA vaxxes designed for you with no freedom to say No.
