<h1>Tech Titans Clash Over $500B Stargate AI Project; Musk Criticizes Funding, Altman Defends U.S. Benefits.</h1> A dispute has emerged between two tech moguls over a major AI infrastructure project, Stargate, endorsed by President Trump. Elon Musk criticized the $500 billion investment plan, claiming insufficient funding, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the initiative, emphasizing its potential benefits for the U.S. The conflict traces back to a boardroom rivalry and Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging deviation from its nonprofit goals. Stargate, involving partners like Oracle and SoftBank, aims to build data centers powered by renewable energy, with significant construction underway in Texas. Meanwhile, Microsoft's evolving partnership with OpenAI remains integral to the project.
