U.S. President Donald Trump announced Stargate, a $500 billion AI infrastructure project that's expected to provide 100,000 jobs and boost the American economy, but Elon Musk believes the three companies leading the project don't have the funds.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday dismissed criticism from close ally Elon Musk about a $500 billion artificial intelligence project that Trump announced with great fanfare at the White House earlier this week.

Elon Musk asked a judge to block OpenAI's attempt to transition from nonprofit to for-profit. It's not the first time he's feuded with CEO Sam Altman.

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.

Since then, Musk hasn’t hidden his anger with Altman and OpenAI.

All of which is why the past week has been hilarious.

Donald Trump said he isn't bothered by Elon Musk's criticism of his Stargate AI infrastructure deal, which includes Musk rival Sam Altman.
