Key Trump staff ‘furious’ Musk bashed $500 billion AI deal — as president shrugs it off It comes following online spat between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project.
It comes following the online spat between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by the president earlier this week, who described it as “a resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential.”.
One Republican source close to the White House told Politico that Trump’s staff is “furious” over Musk’s public undermining of the deal, which the president also called “tremendous” and “monumental.”.
The SpaceX boss and Altman clashed on Wednesday, following the announcement of the AI deal; a new partnership formed by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, alongside Oracle and SoftBank.
Musk was a vocal advocate for the president during the election, taking the role of senior advisor, and now heads the new Department of Government Efficiency.
