Musk Mocks Trump’s €500B AI Mega Plan

Here’s a rewritten version of the article:

“A Bold Vision for America,” Trump Declares Amid Skepticism from Musk

“It’s big money and top-tier people,” former President Donald Trump said, hailing the initiative as “a resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential” as his new administration kicked off.

However, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk reacted with skepticism to the announcement, which promoted a $100 billion funding plan for the initiative outlined in an OpenAI press release.

“They don’t actually have the money,” Musk remarked in a pointed comment on his social media platform, X.

In a follow-up post, Musk added, “SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority.”

Musk’s contentious history with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been anything but subtle. Once collaborators at OpenAI, the two have since become vocal rivals. Musk, who left the organization in 2018, PLACEHOLDERb7d1943411df5a02, while Altman has countered by calling Musk “a bully” in PLACEHOLDER894f7033b9f18d1a.

Despite doubts, construction has already begun on one of the key data centers for the project in Texas, according to Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison. Ellison joined Trump, Altman, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son in unveiling the initiative from the White House during a formal launch event.

“We couldn’t do this without you, Mr. President,” Altman said during a joint press conference on Tuesday, expressing gratitude for the administration’s role in facilitating the project.
