   #ElonMusk publicly breaks w/ #Trump by casting doubt on Trump’s $500 billion #StargateAI.

   #Musk is casting doubt on the first major #tech investment announcement made by Trump, openly questioning the admin he serves.

   On Tues, Trump announced a joint venture between #OpenAI, #SoftBank & #Oracle to create billions in #computing #infrastructure to power #ArtificialIntelligence, some of which is already underway.

     In 2 late-night posts, #ElonMusk said the venture, dubbed #Stargate, did not have the financing to achieve the promised investment levels.

     “They don’t have the money," #Musk wrote in reply to an #OpenAI post on the announcement. “#SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority.”

     The dismissal by Musk, who is one of #Trump’s closest advisers & will head up an agency created to slash the nation’s budget, is one of his first public breaks w/the admin.
