Elon Musk continues to undermine Trump's AI 'Stargate' deal

details on the president's Stargate artificial intelligence announcement with open AI Sam Alman at his side want to bring that Chief Washington correspondent John Carl and John Elon Musk is actually taking on the project a rift with the president here that's for sure George just hours after Donald Trump announced this project and declared it would create 100,000 new Jobs quote almost immediately Elon Musk slammed the initiative and suggested it will never get off the ground hello every in his first full day as president Donald Trump was looking to the Future announcing a $500 billion infrastructure investment with the leaders of open AI Oracle mgx and SoftBank the project called Stargate is designed to help build new data centers to power the next generation of artificial intelligence but now Elon Musk is taking aim at it writing on X the companies involved quote don't actually have the money the White House is pushing back the American people should take president Trump and those CEO words for it musk's rival AI Pioneer Sam Altman was with the president during the Project's announcement CEO of open Ai and I would say the uh by far the leading expert based on everything I read Sam Alman Alman is now pushing back at musk questioning his motives for being so close to Trump this is great for the country I realize what is great for the country isn't always what's optimal for your companies but but in your new role I hope you mostly put America First the rift between the tech Titans comes as musk is suing Altman in a dispute over the company open AI saying it is not sticking to its original stated mission of being a nonprofit that personal Rift has only grown and so has the ability of artificial intelligence its consequences hanging in the balance speaking with our Rebecca Jarvis in 2023 Alman said both men are aware of ai's potential and its Danger I think we fundamentally agree on more than we disagree on what do you think you agree most about that getting this technology right and figuring out how to navigate the risks is super important to the future of humanity so what does this all mean for the Donald Trump Elon Musk relationship who knows but I can tell you this Elon Musk has been a near constant Presence at the White House he got to the White House even before Donald Trump on day one and he was spotted yet again yesterday in the West Wing guys but John the president hasn't said anything about Trump's claim and we really don't know how this is going to play out yet right uh we we have no idea uh of how this investment will go uh but it's highly notable that mosque is entirely skeptical that it will go anywhere yeah highly notable John and also just fascinating you have obviously the human drama here between musk and potentially the president as well as Altman musk and Altman have beef that goes back back years that's something we addressed in that interview but it's also the future of humanity artificial intelligence is not only something that is going to change the world but it's also going to change the pocketbooks of the people who have control and Stargate is going to really create a leg up and of course Elon Musk also has his own artificial intelligence company yeah we'll see how this plays out there is a lot to watch here
