Sam Altman responded to criticism of Elon Musk's Trump-supported AI project

In an unexpected public exchange, OpenIII CEO Sam Altman addressed the recent criticism of Elon Musk of Elon Musk, Stargate's recent criticism. It is a cooperation between the project, Openai, Oracle and Softbank, to develop large -scale data centers and energy infrastructure to carry forward artificial intelligence capabilities in the United States.

Musk, a close advisor to Trump, publicly questioned Stargate's financial viability, alleging that SoftBank had received less than $ 10 billion for the project. He said, "They do not really have money," doubts on the funding of the project. In response, Altman denied Musk's claims, saying that Musk was "wrong, as you know," and invited him to visit the first site of the project in Texas, so that its progress could be seen for the first time. Ultman emphasized the importance of initiative for the country and urged Kasturi to prioritize national interests on personal or corporate ideas. This public disagreement is part of a widespread ongoing quarrel between two technical billionaires. Musk had earlier sued Openai, alleging that the organization had deviated from its non-profit mission and was now chasing profitable targets. Altman, however, has maintained a diplomatic stance, focusing on the possible benefits of AI progress for society. Despite his differences, Altman concluded his response with a consent tone, stating, "Let's be friends,", indicating the desire to pursue the controversy and cooperates for the greater good of technological progress.
