Bannon tore into Musk, revealing another fissure in the MAGA world over Trump's highly touted Stargate project.
Elon Musk is clashing with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two billionaires that started on OpenAI’s board and is now testing Musk’s influence with the new presidential administration.
After Donald Trump called Elon Musk an expert in "voting computers," some viewers speculated that the remark raised questions about election integrity.
After telling the audience "thank you" for reelecting Trump, Musk appeared to grab his chest and then forcefully extended his right arm fully into the air with an outstretched straight hand while making a grunting noise. He then turned around and repeated the gesture before touching his chest again and telling the crowd, "My heart goes out to you."
Donald Trump surrounded himself with wealthy tech CEOs to announce what he says will be a massive investment in artificial intelligence. Elon Musk claims it’s overstated.
Musk, who has faced scrutiny for his extremist beliefs, has suggested angry reactions to the gesture are part of a Democratic-led hoax.
The dismissal by Musk, who is one of Trump’s closest advisers and will head up an agency created to slash the nation’s budget, is one of his first public breaks with the administration. It’s also an unusual move for any senior policy official to question an initiative trumpeted by the president.
The blossoming relationship between President Donald Trump and tech titan Elon Musk was on full display throughout Monday's inauguration ceremonies.
Advocacy groups have targeted Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency in lawsuits for allegedly violating transparency rules to advise Trump.
Elon Musk has cast doubt on Donald Trump’s $500 billion AI project by questioning whether it has enough financial backing. “They don’t actually have the money,” the MAGA billionaire wrote on X in a rare public dig at Trump just hours after the president made a big announcement about the privately funded initiative.
Musk was photographed chatting with fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos at a pre-inauguration dinner — but the woman next to him caught even more attention.
