2025-01-24 109

Elon Musk has sparked outrage among President Donald Trump’s allies by publicly criticizing the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure deal. The initiative has drawn Musk’s anger, with the tech billionaire claiming its backers lack sufficient funding. Musk has unparalleled access to the White House and heads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. The billionaire reportedly upset senior officials with his daylong tirade against the project. GOP insiders speculate whether Musk’s dissent could signal a rift between him and Trump, though the president dismissed the criticism. Critics within Trump’s circle are calling for tighter control over Musk, citing his influence and unfiltered public remarks as disruptive.
