Trump Dismisses Musk's Critique of AI Project: 'He Dislikes One Participant in the Agreement'

U.S. President Donald Trump brushed off Elon Musk's criticism of the $500 billion AI project Stargate, alleging that Musk "hates one of the people in the deal." Trump disclosed that OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle are teaming up on Stargate with the aim of generating over 100,000 jobs in the U.S. In response to Musk's concerns about the project's funding, where he suggested "they don’t actually have the money" and mentioned that SoftBank has "well under $10B secured," Trump defended the financing by stating, "they're putting up the money. The government's not putting up anything."
