Musk slammed a Trump-backed $500 billion AI joint venture building out OpenAI’s artificial general intelligence.

President Trump announced a major AI infrastructure investment of “at least $500 billion,” signaling a willingness to work alongside large tech companies.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Stargate, “the most important project for this era” and promised that all of the new investment his company was making would help cure diseases. Altman was actually prompted by Trump to talk about the medical advances that AI would supposedly figure out.

On Tuesday, OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and MGX announced plans to form Stargate, a new company that will invest $500 billion in AI computing infrastructure across the United States over four years. The announcement came during a White House meeting with President Donald Trump, who called it the "largest AI infrastructure project in history."

On his first full day in office, President Donald Trump announced a half-trillion-dollar AI initiative that will begin at Abilene's Lancium campus.
