Their mutual friction goes back to the foundational ideals of OpenAI. But now both seem to have Trump’s favour: Elon Musk as DOGE boss and Sam Altman as a participant in America’s Stargate project.

Sam Altman's comments came amid a flurry of online exchanges between himself, Musk, and Microsoft over the $500 billion Stargate Project announced by Trump.

In the latest development in the pair’s longtime feud, Elon Musk, a key White House advisor as well as the founder of AI company xAI, criticized the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure plan backed by rival Sam Altman and his company OpenAI.

Though Altman said he likely wouldn’t agree with Trump on “everything,” the OpenAI CEO said he believes “he will be incredible for the country in many ways.”

DeepSeek was reportedly developed in just two months at a cost of under $6 million — a stark contrast to the billions typically spent by US giants.

Steve Bannon, the former Trump aide and Maga guru, called Musk “out of control”, saying he “should not reverse what the president’s already talked about”. It seemed like the first hint of a long-predicted wedge between the leader of the free world and the world’s richest man.

"I genuinely respect your accomplishments and think you are the most inspiring entrepreneur of our time," Altman wrote in an X post to Musk.

The latest spat began after Altman joined Trump, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison in a White House ceremony on Tuesday to announce the launch of Stargate, a $500 billion venture to advance the United States’ artificial intelligence infrastructure.

US stocks dropped sharply Monday morning after a surprise advancement from a Chinese artificial intelligence company, DeepSeek, threatened the aura of invincibility surrounding America’s technology industry.

President Donald Trump's first days in office already offer signals about how his next four years in the White House may unfold.
