Musk has raised new doubts about the financial spine of the Openai and SoftBank in the amount of $ 500 billion Stargate after the news revealed that the project dramatically reduced its immediate ambitions due to internal disagreements and delay.
In response to a viral post to X Nik (@NS123ABC), who declared: “Breaking: Openi and SoftBank contrary to the Stargate project after 6 months of delay and sharply reduced his close plans.
Nik also shared the screenshot of the initial Openiai announcement about the Stargate project at the beginning of this year, along with the note that Musk did at the time: “In fact While Musk himself did not have his old statement again, his comment on the thread restored the attention of his earlier skepticism.
The Stargate project was launched in January with the main fanfare and the promise of transforming the AI of the United States. This initiative was headed by Openai, SoftBank and Oracle and was offered to bring more than 100,000 jobs and set up advanced data centers across the country. The project also received support from the then President Donald Trump, who hosted the leading technology CEO in the White House to celebrate the company.
According to The Wall Street Journal, however, Openi and SoftBank reportedly clashed the key conditions of their partnership, including the location of data centers. When moving momentum, the immediate focus has now moved to building a single smaller data device, probably in Ohio.
This is far from the originally expected scale. When the project was declared, the parties involved promised $ 100 billion for quick deployment, with the remaining funds to follow for four years, Reuters reported. Oracle, Larry Ellison, even claimed that the first center was already under construction in Texas.
Openai and SoftBank said in a common statement of Reuters that “they move with urgency on the rating of the place” and work on multiple queues in different countries.
The slowed progress of the project comes in the middle of the wider pressure of Trump’s administration to speed up the development of AI and energy production, including the statement of the national energy emergency situation to remove regulatory barriers.
