The project backed by Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank was announced by President Donald Trump Jan. 21, but it's not without its detractors.

Trump staffers are reportedly angry with Elon Musk for publicly undermining the $500 billion Stargate Project. Musk has questioned the finances behind the AI infrastructure project and used his social media influence to attack one of the project's leaders.

Stargate is supposed to spend $500 billion on AI infrastructure, President Trump said. But Elon Musk suggested that the venture had much less cash.

OpenAI announced a new joint venture named The Stargate Project which aims to build a number of data centers for AI in the U.S.

Stargate, a high-profile artificial intelligence infrastructure project trumpeted by US President Donald Trump this week, will exclusively serve ChatGPT maker OpenAI, according to people familiar with the matter.

OpenAI says the goal of Stargate is to kickstart building more data centers to expand computing capacity for current and future AI projects, including OpenAI's goal of "AGI," which the company defines as a highly autonomous AI system that "outperforms humans at most economically valuable work.
