OpenAI CEO Salm Altman dismissed Musk's claims and instead offered him to visit the first site, which is already under way. He said, "This is great for the country. I realize what is great for the country isn't always what's optimal for your companies, but in your new role I hope you'll mostly put us first."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that the money Elon Musk referred to is for building useful things and not 'hyping' AI.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has distanced himself from Elon Musk and Sam Altman's dispute about funding for the President Trump-backed Stargate project.

OpenAI and SoftBank's "Stargate" took the world by storm after announcing the $500 billion project, which they are collaborating with Oracle and MGX. While making the announcement, the ChatGPT maker indicated that up to $100 billion had already been injected into the project to facilitate the construction of data centers across the United States to bolster sophisticated AI advances.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman shared a longstanding feud ever since Musk, who co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015, split from the company.

Elon Musk reacted to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's comments regarding the $500 billion Stargate AI project, questioning its funding. Nadella affirmed Microsoft’s investment.

Tech titan Elon Musk cast doubt on a $500 billion AI project announced by Donald Trump, saying the money promised for the investment actually wasn't there.
