OpenAI’s CEO has stolen Musk’s thunder and it’s a lesson for every leader. Sam Altman and Elon Musk aren’t friends. They used to be colleagues back when the two were co-founders of OpenAI, and they seemingly shared the belief that artificial intelligence could be a huge net benefit for society.

Elon Musk's criticism of President Trump's $500 billion Stargate AI initiative has sparked outrage among White House aides.

Elon Musk “very much” overstepped his bounds when he criticized a $500 billion artificial intelligence project touted by President Donald Trump, according to a White House official as aides are reportedly “furious” with the tech mogul while allies lament that he “abused the proximity to the president.”

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.
