“They don’t really have the money,” Elon Musk commented on X this Wednesday in reaction to a press release from the company OpenAI announcing an initial investment of 100 billion dollars in a project announced the day before by Donald Trump. The latter promised that this project called “Stargate” will generate investments of “at least $500 billion” in technological infrastructure in the United States and will create “almost immediately more than 100,000 jobs”.
But Musk quickly expressed skepticism about the commitment of OpenAI, which is to invest in the project along with Oracle and MGX, other high-tech companies, and SoftBank, the Japanese investment company. You should know that Musk has long been at loggerheads with Sam Altman, with whom he co-founded OpenAI, the company that created the chatbot ChatGPT. Musk, who resigned from OpenAI in 2018, has since given Altman the nickname “Swindly Sam,” while Altman called him a “tyrant.”
Musk posted another message on X about SoftBank, saying the Japanese company “guaranteed far less than $10 billion.”
The day before Trump had declared: “This is big money and high quality people. » Remarks which did not prevent Musk from criticizing one of the first major proposals of the 47th president.
