Elon Musk raises concerns about the Trump-backed $500 billion Stargate AI Project, questioning SoftBank's ability to fund the initiative.

Mr. Trump had claimed the A.I. announcement as an early trophy, taking credit for the companies’ decision to spend up to $500 billion building data centers.

Elon Musk is skeptical about Stargate, the AI joint venture that includes OpenAI, and in a rare occurrence, he may be right.

Elon Musk claimed overnight Tuesday that tech giants OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank don’t have enough money to fulfill their high-profile pledge to invest $500 billion in U.S. artificial intelligence infrastructure.

OpenAI and Microsoft have hit back at Elon Musk’s criticism of Stargate, the new $500bn artificial intelligence infrastructure project hailed by Donald Trump as a “resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential under a new president”.
